The reigning Missouri Valley Conference champion Drake University women's tennis team begins its 2021-22 season in the friendly confines of the Roger Knapp Tennis Center this weekend for the Drake Invite.
Action begins Friday morning and continues throughout the weekend as the Bulldogs welcome eight other teams to the Roger Knapp Tennis Center for the event that features four flights of singles action and four of doubles competition.
The Bulldogs welcome back six student-athletes from last season's MVC Championship team that made the Bulldogs' third-ever NCAA appearance and first since 2000. That roster has been bolstered with four newcomers and a new head coach in Kristina Lott.
