EWU Women’s Tennis Set for ITA Regionals This Weekend

CHENEY — Eastern Washington women's tennis is on the road this weekend for the ITA Northwest Regionals. The tournament will take place from Friday, Oct. 14 through Tuesday, Oct. 18 in Stanford, Calif. The doubles round will begin at 8:30 a.m. Pacific Time on Friday, with the singles round starting at 10 a.m.

"Our regional tournament always provides great competition and Stanford is a great place to play," head coach Dustin Hinson said. "We have been training hard over the past couple of weeks to build upon what we started at our first tournament at home. We will enjoy competing against some tough players from our region. I'm hopeful that we can grow on the court and as a team throughout the weekend."

The Eagles have six players competing, as Isabella Foshee, Leandra Nizetic, Kenzington Mann, Sara Vasic, Taylor Andersen and Renata Gabuzyan will all be among the field. The six Eagles will compete in the singles and doubles main draw.

Doubles

The doubles competition will start the ITA Regionals on Friday, with Foshee and Nizetic taking the court for Eastern. The duo will face Washington's Sarah-Maude Fortin and Astrid Olsen.
