The Daily Bruin

Come support your Bruins as we host the ITA Regional Tennis Championships for the first time in our school’s history. The Bruins will play all day Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 21 and 22.

Pizza will be available on Sunday at 1 p.m. during the singles quarterfinals. We will need all the support we can get at 9 a.m. on Monday, Sept. 23, for the semifinals, and 1:30 and 4:30 p.m. that day for the singles final.

Every school in the conference will be competing on campus for the championships, All-American status, and automatic births to the National Fall Championships in Rome, Georgia. After a dominating performance last year from the Bruins, defending champion Will Leach looks to take the crown in singles and doubles again this year with senior Alex Namba.
