FORT WORTH, Texas - TCU women's tennis team will open it's 2009-10 season this weekend at Racquet Club Collegiate Invitational in Midland, Texas beginning on Friday and continuing on Saturday and Sunday. Play will begin each day at 9 a.m.
The tournament field features the Frogs, SMU, Pepperdine, Miami (Ohio), Texas A&M, Nebraska, Texas Tech, Rice, University of Texas-Arlington, and UTEP.
TCU returns seven letterwinners from last season's squad that posted a 17-11 overall record, claimed the Mountain West Conference tournament title and earned the program's sixth consecutive NCAA appearance. Jefferson Hammond was named the MWC Coach of the Year for the second season in a row, while three players earned all-conference accolades.
Following the competition in Midland, five selected players will then jump to the West Coast to Pacific Palisades, Calif., for the ITA All-American Invitational, starting Oct. 3. After the nine-day event, TCU will take part in the ITA Texas Regional in Waco, Texas, from Oct. 16-20. On Nov. 5-8, select members of the Frogs' roster will close out the fall schedule in New Haven, Conn., for the ITA National Indoor Individual Championships, while others take part in the Kitty Harrison Invitational in Chapel Hill, N.C., Nov. 6-8.
