Women’s Tennis to Host Hoosier Classic

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – With the Hoosier Classic starting on Sept. 16-18, the Indiana women's tennis team starts its season and will feature multiple home tournaments in the fall before the dual match season starts in January. The Hoosier classic will be played starting at 10:30 a.m. at the IU Varsity Tennis Courts.
This season marks IU head coach Lin Loring's 40th year as the head coach of the Hoosiers and 44th overall. His 846 career wins are the most ever by any coach in Division-I women's tennis history.
The 2016-17 Indiana lineup has two seniors in Paula Gutierrez and Kim Schmider. The trio of Madison Appel, Caitlin Bernard and Natalie Whalen return for thier sophomore seasons. Alicia Robinson is a graduate student and in her first year with the Hoosiers. The freshmen class includes Pauline Jahren, Emma Love and Anna McCoy.
The fall schedule is the time to figure out how all of the new players will fit within the scheme. Loring will use this to determine who the doubles pairings will be for dual matches in the spring. This low-key portion of the schedule is a great opportunity for the players to prove themselves both in singles and doubles.
Throughout the fall schedule, the Hoosiers will play in several tournaments. In October the Hoosiers play in the ITA Midwest Regional and also host the IU Regional for teams and athletes that are not participating in the ITA Midwest Regional. The Hoosiers will close the fall with the Western Michigan Invite on Nov. 4-6 in Kalamazoo, Mich.
After the holiday break, the Hoosiers will pick up again in January with the IU Winter Invite. This tournament will have Marquette, ACU, Colorado and Utah to join Indiana.
The Hoosiers will start dual match play with home matches against Western Michigan and Butler on Jan. 21. The Indiana schedule features 18 home dual matches throughout the winter and spring. This will lead up to the Big Ten Tournament, which is scheduled for April 27-30 in Lincoln, Neb., hosted by Nebraska.
