MANHATTAN, Kan. – The Wichita State women's tennis team opens the 2024 fall campaign with a short trip to Manhattan, where the Shockers will play in the Kansas State Invitational, September 20-22 at Mike Goss Tennis Stadium.
 
The Invitational is set up for players from five teams to compete in dual-style doubles and singles matches. 
 
The Shockers will face high-level, ranked competition at the Invitational, as Arkansas, Iowa State, and South Florida, join host Kansas State at the Invitational. Four of the five teams were ranked at multiple points at the ITA top 75 poll during the 2024 spring season.
 
All but one Shocker will compete in the event, as sophomore standout Xin Tong Wang has earned a bid to compete in the ITA All-American Championships in Cary, North Carolina.
