Women’s Tennis Hosts Akron Shootout This Weekend

AKRON, Ohio — The University of Akron women's tennis team opens its 2016 fall home schedule on Friday, Sept. 23 by hosting its own Akron Shootout at the Outdoor Tennis Facility.

"I am excited to get the second tournament of the fall underway, and to see the other five student-athletes play, that weren't at last weekend's tournament," said head coach Brandon Padgett. "I'm hoping to see a good crowd come out and support the team. We continue to work hard as a group, and I expect to see that hard work pay off this weekend."

Coach Padgett is in his seventh season as head coach at Akron.
