TALLAHASSEE - The Florida State women's tennis team will split up this week, traveling to the ITA Sectional Championships in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and the UNF Invitational in Jacksonville. ITA Sectionals will begin on Thursday, while play at the UNF Invitational begins on Friday. Each tournament is set to conclude on Sunday.
Eva Shaw and Millie Bissett will compete at the ITA Sectional Championships for an opportunity to qualify for the NCAA Tournament later this month. The ITA Sectional Championships will determine the six singles players who will qualify for the NCAA Singles Championship from each section (all four semifinalists, two quarterfinal playoff winners). Three doubles teams from each section will also qualify for the NCAA Doubles Championship (champion, finalist, third place).
Shaw and Bissett will each compete in the singles and doubles main draw. The pair is ranked No. 35 nationally in doubles and will compete together for the first time this season. Individually, Bissett has had a nice start to her fall campaign, beginning the year 4-1 in singles.
The Seminoles will send the rest of the team to Jacksonville to compete at the UNF Invitational for a fifth consecutive fall season.
FSU found plenty of success at last year's event, securing two singles flight winners and one doubles title. Mary Boyce Deatherage earned three victories on her way to the Singles Flight A crown, defeating Nikola Daubnerova of Florida 7-6(2), 1-6, 6-3 in the final. Cade Cricchio and Tina Li earned three victories of their own, defeating Lucia Aranda and Prisca Abbas of UNC Charlotte 6-2 in the Doubles Flight 2 final.
