TEMPE – Sun Devil Women’s Tennis has announced its 2024 fall schedule, which includes the annual Thunderbird Invitational at home.
The Sun Devils will open their season at the USTA SoCal Intercollegiate Championships in San Diego, California, on Sept. 19-22.
The 2024-25 season will have a variety of ITA tournaments throughout the fall in an attempt to earn bids into the NCAA Individual Championship to take place at the end of the season, starting with the All-American championships in Cary, North Carolina, on Sept. 21-29.
After a week off, the Sun Devils will head to Bakersfield, California, for the ITF W35 Bakersfield on Oct. 7-13, and then will play in the ITA Regional Championships in San Diego, California, set for Oct. 17-22.
At the end of October, the team will head east to compete in the Tennessee Invite in Knoxville, Tennessee, from Oct. 25-28. After competing in Knoxville, the Sun Devils will go to Norman, Oklahoma, to take part in the ITF W35 from Oct. 28-Nov. 3.
The Sun Devils then will have another chance to qualify for NCAA Individual Championships in the ITA Sectional or Master’s championships in San Diego or Los Angeles, set for Nov. 7-10, to earn bids. For players not participating in either ITA event, the team will host its annual Thunderbird Invitational at Whiteman Tennis Center in Tempe on Nov. 8-10.
The NCAA Individual Championships are set for Nov. 19-24 in Waco, Texas, hosted by Baylor University.
ABOUT THE NCAA SINGLES AND DOUBLES CHAMPIONSHIPS:
In January of 2023, the NCAA Division I Competition Oversight Committee approved a two-year pilot program to hold the NCAA Division I Men’s and Women’s Individual Championships in the fall of 2024 and 2025. The ITA office, along with the NCAA Singles & Doubles Pathway Task Force (consisting of ITA member coaches), has worked diligently over the past several years to create a clearly defined and accessible pathway for student-athletes to earn entry into the fall 2024 and fall 2025 NCAA Individual Championships.
