FORT WORTH, Texas – The Wichita State men's tennis team heads to Fort Worth, Texas for the 13^th annual ITA Kickoff Weekend. The Shockers will play Tulsa on Saturday at 11 a.m. and either TCU or Portland on Sunday.
 
ITA Kickoff Weekend features 60 of the top Division I programs and consists of 15 four-team brackets. Each region plays for a bid to the ITA National Indoor Championships.
 
The Shockers are coming off a 3-0 season-opening weekend at home, where Orel Ovil picked up three singles wins and the team shut out Saint Louis on day one.
 
Tulsa brings a nationally-ranked doubles pairing in Connor Di Marco and Kody Pearson (No. 60) to the day one match. The Golden Hurricane are 2-1 after back-to-back wins last weekend over Purdue and Illinois State. This will be the Shockers' first match of the season against a conference opponent.
 
Based on day one results, Wichita State will face either No. 4 TCU or Portland. TCU is 3-1 this spring, dropping its only match to then No. 4 Tennessee after beating No. 1 Florida. Portland will make its 2022 debut in Fort Worth.
