ITA Kick-Off Weekend
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – For the first time in school history, the University of North Florida men's tennis team will participate in the ITA Kick-Off Weekend.
“Reaching the Kick-Off Weekend for the first time is a great accomplishment for our seniors,” said head coach Adam Schaechterle. “I'm excited for our squad to have the chance to compete on the national stage.”
Set to take place Jan. 25-28, 2013, 60 teams take part in the ITA Kick-Off Weekend and compete at one of 15 campus sites for chance to qualify for the ITA National Team Indoor Championships. Teams are selected to play in the Kick-Off Weekend based upon their finish to the spring season and four teams compete at each campus site.
UNF travels to Charlottesville, Va., and are in a site that includes host Virginia, Arkansas and Georgia State. The Ospreys are seeded fourth in the Charlottesville site and are currently slated to open the weekend against top-seeded Virginia, who advanced to its second-straight NCAA team championship match in May. Winner of the UNF-Virginia match will face the winner of No. 2 Arkansas-No. 3 Georgia State for a berth to the ITA National Team Indoor Championships, while the two losers will play each other.
UNF finished up the 2012 season with a No. 66 national ranking. The Ospreys were ranked 11 times, including in the final eight polls of the 2012 season. UNF achieved its highest ranking in its Division I years on Mar. 20, coming in at No. 50 after posting back-to-back 4-3 wins over nationally-ranked South Alabama and UNC Wilmington in consecutive days.
