Tournament Preview
The Kennesaw State women's tennis team will officially begin its 2015 fall campaign this weekend when the Owls open play at the USC Upstate Fall Classic in Spartanburg, S.C. beginning on Friday (Sept. 18). This season marks a new era in KSU women's tennis as Eduardo Rincon has assumed the title of Director of Tennis and Miranda Foley has been promoted to assistant head coach.
 
The Owls return five letterwinners from a year ago, including seniors Gabriela Bueno, Isabela Castro and Ashleigh De Wet. Also returning from last season's team are sophomores Cristina Martin and Alexandra Mercado.
 
The Newcomers
Two newcomers have been added to roster including Kansas State transfer Laura Hopton and freshman Gabrielle Robinson (Stone Mountain, Ga. / Chamblee HS).

Quoting Foley
"We as a coaching staff are excited for this weekend's first road trip of the fall, assistant head coach Miranda Foley said. "For some of the girls it will be their first time representing the Owls in a competition environment. There is no time like the present to get their KSU career's underway. As a team we feel good going into the weekend. The girls have been putting in the work on the practice court and are getting a little better every day. We expect to see the same out of them this weekend."
