Junior Jennifer Heinrich will help lead Keuka in the NCAAs.

The Keuka College women’s tennis team (5-4) will square off against Hope College (19-5) at 10 am on Thursday, May 7 in its first match of the NCAA Tournament.

This marks the women’s tennis teams first-ever trip to the NCAA Tournament as they were awarded the automatic qualifier during the NEAC Tournament.  Keuka actually lost a 5-4 decision to Penn State-Harrisburg in the NEAC finals but due to Harrisburg’s provisional status, Keuka received the AQ.

The match will be played at Denison University in Granville, Ohio.

Also in the regional are Denison (14-6), SUNY Geneseo (10-0), the University of Mary Washington (17-7) and Ohio Northern University (20-5).  Geneseo and Ohio Northern will face each other at noon on Thursday with Mary Washington playing the winner of the Keuka/Hope match on Friday at 10 am.
