Defending Champion Redbirds Open Fall Slate This Weekend

NORMAL, Ill. – The defending Missouri Valley Conference champion Illinois State women's tennis team will officially begin its fall slate on Saturday, when the Redbirds travel over on I-74 to Champaign to compete in the Universal Tennis College Circuit event hosted by Illinois.

Universal Tennis College Circuits is a new series of open, tiered prize money tournaments hosted by college campuses. These events attract the best players across the country and provide college players, adults, and high-level junior players with more opportunities to play competitive matches.

"This weekend is a great opportunity for us to get some tough matches in," ISU head coach Maja Kovacek said.
