AUBURN, Ala. – Auburn women’s tennis head coach Jordan Szabo released his team’s fall schedule on Wednesday. For the third consecutive season, players will compete for a bid to the NCAA Singles and Doubles Championships through three Intercollegiate Tennis Association events, with the individual national championships being held in November.
Three qualifying tournaments will provide Auburn players with access to the NCAA Singles and Doubles Championships. Bids to both events will be awarded to top finishers at the ITA All-American Championships in Cary, North Carolina; the ITA Southern Regional Championships in Baton Rouge, Louisiana; and the ITA South Sectional Championships in Gainesville, Florida.
Ten singles players and four doubles teams will qualify for the individual championships through the ITA All-American Championships, while two singles players and one doubles team will earn spots through ITA Regionals. Six singles and three doubles spots will be decided through ITA Sectionals. All 64 singles players and 32 doubles teams will earn bids to the NCAA individual championship fields through one of four qualifying pathways across the country.
Last season, Ava Esposito and Ashton Bowers each earned bids to the NCAA Singles Championship, and Esposito advanced to the round of 16, earning ITA Singles All-America honors
In addition to the qualifying events and the NCAA individual championships, Auburn players will participate in the RTC Collegiate Invite in Rome, Georgia.
