Women's Tennis Starts NCAA Individual Championships Tuesday

Members of the North Carolina women's tennis team will begin play at the 2024-25 NCAA Individual Championship on Tuesday at the Hurd Tennis Center on the campus of Baylor University in Waco, Texas. This will be the first time the event has been held in the fall, having traditionally taken place in the spring after the conclusion of the NCAA team championship.

Singles play for both men and women begins on Tuesday morning, with doubles action commencing on Wednesday.

The Tar Heels are sending three singles players and two doubles teams to Waco.

Carson Tanguilig, Theadora Rabman and Tatum Evans will take part in the singles championship. Rabman and Evans qualified by reaching the singles semifinals at the ITA All-American Championships in September, and Tanguilig qualified by reaching the final of the ITA East Sectional in Chapel Hill on November 10.

The duos of Tanguilig and Susanna Maltby and Rabman and Evans will compete in doubles. Rabman and Evans won the ITA Sectional.

QUALIFICATION PATH
Singles and doubles participants qualified to the Division I singles and doubles championships via competition in approved qualifying pathway events. The qualifying pathway events, including the number of players advancing into the singles and doubles championships for each event are as follows:

• ITA All-American Championships – 10 singles players (eight main draw quarterfinalists and two feed-in consolation finalists) and four doubles teams (four main draw semifinalists).
• ITA Regional Championships – each of the 13 regions will advance two singles players (two finalists) and one doubles team (winner).
• ITA Conference Masters Championships – each Division I conference eligible for team automatic qualification will have the opportunity to have its singles and doubles conference tournament winners, or, if no conference tournament is conducted, nominate one singles player and one doubles team, to participate. The ITA Conference Masters field size will mirror the number of eligible AQ conferences each year. The four singles semifinalists, plus three doubles teams (two finalists plus the third/fourth playoff winner), will qualify for the singles and doubles championships.
• ITA Sectional Championships – each of the four sectionals will advance six singles players (the four singles semifinalists plus the two winners of the quarterfinal playoffs), and three doubles teams (the two doubles finalists plus the plus the third/fourth playoff winner).
