CHARLOTTE, N.C. (www.BigSouthSports.com) – The inaugural Big South Conference Fall Men's Tennis Individual Championships will be held this weekend, Oct. 25-27, at the Rock Hill Tennis Center in Rock Hill, S.C. The singles draw is comprised of 16 individuals -- two each from
Gardner-Webb,
Longwood,
Presbyterian College,
Radford and
UNC Asheville, with the remaining six slots awarded to the next highest-ranked WTN players in the conference. The doubles draw features eight teams -- one from each Big South squad, with the final three slots determined by the next highest-ranked WTN teams in the league. The individual singles and doubles champion will receive automatic entry into the ITA Conference Masters Championships.
