September 12, 2023 | Women's Tennis
STARKVILLE – Mississippi State's women's tennis is gearing up for its first fall season under head coach Chris Hooshyar with seven tournaments to begin the year.
Â
"I am excited to get on the road with the girls and to see if we can implement what we have been doing in practice," Hooshyar said. "It is going to be a good opportunity for the girls to see Taylor [Russo] and I in that environment and for us to see what the girls are all about. We have been talking a lot about purpose on the practice court and I can't wait see that transition."
Â
The Bulldogs are set to open the fall on Sept. 14 as they head to Greenville, South Carolina to participate in the Debbie Southern Classic before traveling to Hilton Head, South Carolina for the W15 Hilton Head on Sept. 24-Oct. 1.
Â
From there the team will participate in the ITA Southern Regionals on Oct. 5-9 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in hopes of qualifying for the ITA National Fall Championships in San Diego, California on Nov. 1-5. The team will then venture to Florence, South Carolina for the W25 Florence from Oct. 8-15.
Â
State will then head home to host its own home tournament, the John Cade Invitational on Oct. 27-29. Teams participating the event will be announced at a later date.
Â
The Bulldogs are back on the road for the W15 Norman is set for Oct. 30-Nov. 5 in Norman, Oklahoma.
Â
Mississippi State returns five players from last year's squad – Chloé Cirotte, Alexandra Mikhailuk, Dharani Niroshan, Maria Rizzolo and Alessia Tagliente.
Â
Hooshyar and his assistants will use the fall to get acquainted with their new team that also includes three freshmen in Jayna Clemens, Athina Pitta and Ava Rath.
