FORT WORTH, Texas – A busy weekend for the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi tennis programs begins Thursday at 8 a.m. when the women compete at ITA Regionals hosted by TCU, while the men travel to San Antonio for the UTSA Invitational on Friday at 9 a.m.
The women will be sending seven singles players and three doubles teams to regionals. The men will travel a trio including senior

Tomas Quesada Perez and
Lucas Schurdevin.
Six of the seven women competing will begin in the preliminary draw and must win two rounds to join junior

Palina Saulevich, juniors
Naomi Moi McKenzie and
Valeria Cherfus, and junior
Victoire Delattre and freshman
Anais Brion in the main doubles draw of 64.
"The Texas Region is the toughest region in the nation, and we are super excited to be competing. These girls have worked super hard and have improved tremendously in the past month. Their fitness and mental toughness have especially improved. We are looking forward to playing each point with intensity, controlling what we can control and being an incredibly unified family. Go Islanders," said head coach
Steve Moore.
McKenzie is the No. 1 seed in the preliminaries. She'll face Isabelle Bahr in the first round who played No. 1 singles for UTRGV last season. Brion is the No. 3 seed and is pitted against Kate Malazonia who played No. 2 singles from Texas State.

For the men, the brackets have not yet been released but are expected to be revealed Thursday.
