WICHITA, Kan. – The Wichita State Women's Tennis team has unveiled their spring schedule for the 2024 year. The Shockers open their season on January 12th at Oklahoma and play their first home match against Kansas State on January 27th. The Shockers will compete against seven different American Athletic Conference Schools this spring.
Head Coach
Colin Foster is very excited to see the challenges that this schedule brings this year.
"We've got a very well-balanced schedule featuring a good mix of regional, conference, and national competition," said Foster. "We've made a lot of progress this fall, and I know this group is excited for the opportunities that are in front of us on the schedule."
The Shockers will face eight teams (SMU, Kansas, Tulsa, Louisiana Tech, Charlotte, Kentucky, Denver, and Oklahoma) who finished ranked inside last year's final Intercollegiate Tennis Association top-75 poll.
Coach Foster's group will also play seven teams in the American this year, including three programs that are new to the American in North Texas, Charlotte, and UAB.
"The American does not play a regular season round robin schedule, but we get to see many of the top programs in the league, along with several Big 12 opponents," said Foster. "These matches will give us ranking opportunities as well as prepare us for the conference tournament."
The year, the Shockers will play seven home matches, nine true away matches, and four at neutral sites.
Home match locations will vary based on weather conditions on the day of the match. All matches will have live stats.
The 2024 American Athletic Conference Championship will be hosted by SMU and played at the
Styslinger / Altec Tennis Complex located in Dallas, Texas.
