Women's Tennis to Compete at ITA Midwest Regional Championships

DETROIT -- The Wayne State University women's tennis squad will travel to Grand Rapids, Mich., to compete at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Midwest Regional Championships, with competition to begin on Saturday, October 4, and conclude on Monday, October 6.

LAST TIME OUT
The Green and Gold last competed at Bowling Green State University's Hidden Duals (September 26-27) against Butler University, the University of Findlay, and BGSU. Malak Arafat (Alexandria, Egypt) and Martyna Szpakowska (Gdansk, Poland) found the most success in singles competition, as each student-athlete tallied a 2-1 ledger. On the doubles side, Arafat and Szpakowska finished the weekend with a 3-0 record as a pairing.

TOURNAMENT OUTLOOK
The ITA Midwest Regional Championships will consist of both singles and doubles matches. Squads from the GLIAC, G-MAC, and GLVC will be in attendance for the tournament. The singles and doubles champions from each of the eight regions will earn an automatic bid to the ITA Cup. In addition, four more regional finalists, and four regional semifinalists will garner an at-large bid. The at-large selections are based on the individual's ranking from the previous year, along with quality of wins.
