[Tennis] IWU Tennis Hosting Massive Tournament this Weekend

MARION, Ind. -- This weekend Grant County and surrounding sites will see 30 men's and women's tennis teams from 16 schools descend on the community. Indiana Wesleyan men's and women's tennis is hosting the IWU Tennis Invitational throughout the weekend that features 24 total matches at six sites.

"This weekend we have 30 teams coming to play in the IWU Invitational," said IWU tennis head coach Eddy Shigley. "Fifteen of these teams are ranked in the Top-25 of the NAIA men's and women's rankings. Another six teams are receiving votes. These teams represent eight different conferences and we have teams coming from Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, and Wisconsin. We are using six tennis facilities that comprise 53 tennis courts." 

The 30 teams are set to compete at IWU's Sutter Tennis Center, Huntington (Ind.), Marion High School, Mississinewa High School, Taylor (Ind.), and Marian (Ind.).

"I think this is great for NAIA tennis," added Shigley. "It will be some incredible tennis, high competitive matches, and teams will be able to play teams that they don't ordinarily get to play. And, the weather is going to be great. We would love to see people from the IWU and Marion communities come out to the Sutter Tennis Courts at IWU to see some fantastic tennis."
