The No. 117-ranked Shocker opens competition Thursday against Norfolk State's Julia Darozewska at 3 p.m. CT at the Rome Tennis Center.
Meanwhile, four Shockers will compete at the Tulsa Invitational, set for Nov. 6-8 at the Micael D. Case Tennis Center. The group will include

The ITA Conference Masters provides another pathway for the four singles semifinalists and the top three doubles teams to earn a bid at the NCAA Singles and Doubles Championships.
