The New Mexico men’s and women’s tennis teams prepare for their respective USTA/ITA Regionals, with the women playing first — beginning Wednesday — as the host of the event.
Women’s tennis head coach Stephanie Wooten-Quijada said she has never hosted the event before, but expects the environment to be an exciting one when the tournament kicks off.
The women’s regional tournament will likely take place at the McKinnon Family Tennis Center, weather permitting, from Oct. 12 to 16. The men’s team will travel to Las Vegas, Nevada to compete from Oct. 19 to 23.
“It’s always nice to play on our home court,” Wooten-Quijada said.
