September 23 , 2004
 |
GENEVA, N.Y.—William Smith College will host one of the 57 Wilson/Intercollegiate Tennis Association Regional Championships played across the country on Sept. 24-26. Now in its 13th consecutive year in Geneva, the Herons have hosted the annual Women’s Northeast Championship every year since 1992.
The Wilson/ITA Northeast Women’s Championships at William Smith will feature the top Division III schools in the region. The singles and doubles champions from this weekend’s tournament advance to the Oct. 14-17, ITA National Small College Championships at Florida Gulf Coast University in Fort Myers.
The ITA National Small College Championships began in 1986 and annually crowns men’s and women’s singles and doubles national champions in each of the ITA’s four small college divisions (NCAA Divisions II and III, NAIA and Junior/Community College) during the month of October. Participants are determined through the Wilson/ITA Regional Championships, which serve as qualifying tournaments. The national champions from each division square off in the “Super Bowl” of Small College Tennis to determine the overall ITA National Small College Champions (who then earn berths into the ITA National Intercollegiate Indoor Championships, a Division I event).
Results from this weekend’s Northeast action can be found on the William Smith Tennis Web page at campus.hws.edu/athletics/herons/tennis/2004ita.pdf.
