Opening Up
After narrowly missing out on a spot in the PSAC Tournament a year ago, the West Chester University women's tennis team returns to action in 2025 with renewed energy as the team looks to ensure last season was an anomaly and not the beginning of a trend. West Chester has a busy fall slate ahead as the team will open play tomorrow before visiting Chestnut Hill and Bryn Mawr on October 7 and 9, with a visit to St. Thomas Aquinas on October 21 as the final dual match of the fall. Before the team can shift its attention to Chestnut Hill, West Chester will visit Bloomsburg next week for the ITA Atlantic Regional Championships hosted by the Huskies.
