CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – For the fourth straight year, Virginia will be hosting the first and second rounds of both the NCAA Men’s and Women’s Tennis Championships.
The matches will take place Friday, May 3, through Sunday, May 5, at the Virginia Tennis Facility at the Boar’s Head Resort.
The men’s team (22-5) earned an at-large bid into the championship and was named the No. 3 overall seed. Virginia will open play by facing NJIT (19-5) in the second match on Friday at 4 p.m. VCU (15-9) and Princeton (22-7) will play in the first match of the day at 1 p.m.

The women are making their 23rd overall appearance in the NCAA Women’s Tennis Championships and their sixth-consecutive under head coach Sara O’Leary.
The 16 teams advancing from the second round of the tournament will participate in two-team super regionals on the campuses of the higher-seeded teams, set to take place on May 10-11. As top-eight seeds, both Virginia teams are in line to host super regionals next weekend should they advance. The men would host the winner of the Raleigh Regional on Friday, May 10, while the women would host the winner of the Columbus Regional on Saturday, May 11.
The eight super regional winners will then advance to the Oklahoma State University’s Greenwood Tennis Center in Stillwater, Okla., with the quarterfinals through championship matches being contested May 16-19. NCAA Singles and Doubles will take place May 20-25.
Virginia hosted both the men’s and women’s regionals for seven consecutive years from 2010-2016 and also did so each of the last three years.
