CHARLOTTE — The fall season is underway for the 49ers women's tennis squad and their home debut comes this weekend at the 49er Invitational. It's the only fall tournament for the group at the Halton-Wagner Tennis Complex.
The Niners will see Davidson, James Madison, Kentucky, East Tennesse St., and VCU on the home courts over three days of action. Kentucky, VCU and Davidson will form a mixed team to compete in the hidden-dual format.
Charlotte returns three veteran players: Sara Suchankova, Shona Nakano, and Lucia Aranda. During last year's invitational, Aranda won twice, and Nakano picked up a singles victory in her collegiate debut.
