TAMPA (Oct. 6, 2022) – After a successful showing in the prestigious Bedford Cup to open the 2022 Fall season, the University of South Florida women's tennis team will return to action this weekend in the Wildcat Invitational at Northwestern University's Vandy Christie Tennis Center in Evanston, Ill., Friday through Sunday.
 
With the fall season traditionally focused on individual results, the Bulls will face some of the top programs and competition in the Midwest. A combination of seven singles players and doubles teams that were ranked in the ITA Preseason National Rankings will take part in the event. The competition starts at noon on Friday, 10 a.m. on Saturday and 9 a.m. on Sunday.
 
South Florida is coming off a strong performance in the annual Bedford Cup and recorded solid showings in its first time out on the courts this season. The Bulls had multiple players advance to at least the semifinal and final rounds in both doubles and singles during the three-day event at Florida Gulf Coast University's Tennis Complex in Fort Myers, Sept. 23-25.
 
South Florida posted 17 wins over the weekend while Grace Schumacher won the Flight A Consolation Draw. Margriet Timmermans and Ireland Simme also advanced to the doubles semifinals in their first outing as a tandem.
