SMU is No. 1 Seed for American Women's Tennis Championship

IRVING, Texas – The SMU Mustangs have earned the No. 1 seed for the 2023 American Athletic Conference Women’s Tennis Championship, which begins Wednesday at the USTA National Campus in Orlando, Florida.

The Mustangs closed their regular season with a 4-2 win against UCF Sunday, a result that lifted SMU ahead of the Knights in the ITA Collegiate Tennis Rankings, which determine the seeds for the conference championship. SMU will enter the postseason having won four of its last five dual matches, all against nationally ranked opponents.

SMU will begin tournament play Thursday against the winner of Wednesday’s first-round match between Temple and Tulane.
