WILLIAMSBURG, Va. – William & Mary head women's tennis coach
Jessica Giuggioli announced the Tribe's 2025 fall schedule on Monday. The ledger comprises eight events, including four ITA competitions that serve as qualification for the NCAA Individual Championships in Orlando, Nov. 18-23, and two home tournaments.
W&M will once again host the Tribe Invitational, which started in 1993, on Sept. 13-14. The 30th edition of the event will feature the host Tribe, Richmond, East Carolina, Penn, James Madison, and South Florida. Competition will occur at both the McCormack-Nagelsen Tennis Center and the Mackesy Tennis Center at the Millie West Courts over the two days.
The first major ITA event of the fall, and first opportunity to qualifying for the national championships, is the All-American Championships, Sept. 20-28, in Cary, N.C. Since 1983, the ITA Women's All-American Championships have featured the nation's top players and have been a pioneer in women's college tennis. The event will have a draw size of the following - singles: pre-qualifying (128), qualifying (64), main draw (64) and doubles: pre-qualifying (32), qualifying (32), main draw (32). From this, 10 singles players (eight main draw quarterfinalists and two feed-in consolation finalists) and four main draw doubles semifinalists will qualify for the NCAA Singles and Doubles Championships, which were moved to the fall as part of a two-year pilot program that started last year.
W&M returns to the Cissie Leary Invitational, hosted by the University of Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia, Pa., at the Hamlin and Hecht Tennis Centers. The Green and Gold will compete in the event for the first time since 2019.
The ITA Atlantic Region Championships are set for Oct. 16-21 in Blacksburg, Va. The draw size for the regional will be singles: minimum of 64-player main draw and minimum of 64-player qualifying, and doubles: minimum of 32-team main draw and a minimum of 32-team qualifying draw. From this, the two singles finalists and the doubles champion will qualify for the NCAA Singles and Doubles Championships.
The Tribe's second home event – the W&M Hidden Dual – is set for Oct. 31-Nov. 2 and will be held at both the McCormack-Nagelsen Tennis Center and the Mackesy Tennis Center at the Millie West Courts. Along with the host Tribe,
Virginia Tech, Morgan State, VCU and Norfolk State will compete at the three-day event.
The ITA will host a pair of qualifiers for the NCAA Individual Championships on Nov. 6-9. The first is the ITA Conference Masters Championships in San Diego, Calif., and the second is the Sectional Championships in Chapel Hill, N.C. For the Sectional Championships, the draw size will be 32 players for singles and 16 teams for doubles with six singles players (semifinalists, two quarterfinal playoff winners) and three double teams (champion, finalist, third place) qualifying for the NCAA Championships.
The Conference Masters Championships will have a draw size of 32 singles players and 32 doubles teams with four players qualifying in singles (semifinalists) and three doubles teams (champion, finalist, third place). Each NCAA AQ-eligible, DI conference will designate one singles player and one doubles team from each gender to participate in the event.
