CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – The Virginia women’s tennis team opens the fall portion of its schedule by competing at the Kitty Harrison Invitational at the Chewning Tennis Center in Chapel Hill, N.C.
The Cavaliers will compete against players from North Carolina, Duke, Old Dominion, Florida, Purdue, Charlotte and Penn State.
Each day of the event will include action beginning at both 9:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Virginia players will be in the 1:30 slot all three days.
In each time slot, doubles will kick off play, followed by singles. Weather permitting, matches will occur simultaneously on 12 outdoor courts, along with additional matches on the Cone-Kenfield indoor courts at the Chewning Tennis Center.
The tournament is held in honor of Kitty Harrison, the longtime head coach of the Carolina women’s tennis team from 1976 to 1998. Eight of Harrison’s 22 teams were ranked among the top 25 nationally and, under her direction, Carolina won four ACC championships in a row from 1977 to 1980 and finished as the league runner-up four other times. Harrison retired after the 1997-98 season as the winningest tennis coach in ACC history.
Admission is free all weekend.
