Inclement weather cancels women's tennis tournament

Hurricane Joaquin is expected to cause flash flood warnings, heavy rainfall and strong winds over the weekend.

Head coach Tom Morris and the ECU Athletics department initially accommodated to the chance of rain, by taking the matches from their outdoor facility with eight courts to indoor facility that consists of three courts.

With concerns for the competing schools travel safety, ECU came to the decision to cancel their annual tournament.

The team has not yet thought of rescheduling plans.

The next expected competition date for the lady Pirates will be the Wake Forest Invitational, in Winston Salem, North Carolina from October 9 through October 11.
