The No. 17 Trinity University Tigers Men's Tennis travels to Massachusetts this weekend for the opening rounds of the NCAA Tournament, hosted by No. 4 Tufts University Men's Tennis.
Trinity will open regional play in the Round of 32 against either The College of New Jersey Men's Tennis or St. John Fisher University Men's Tennis on Saturday. With a win, the Tigers would advance to Sunday's regional final to face either host Tufts or the winner of the Moravian University Men's Tennis and Baruch College Men's Tennis matchup.
Last Time Out
Trinity enters the NCAA Tournament after winning the SAA Championship and securing the conference's automatic bid into the national tournament. The Tigers closed the conference weekend with strong performances and continued to build momentum heading into postseason play.
Preview
The regional features a deep field, highlighted by host Tufts, currently ranked No. 4 nationally. Tufts has been one of the strongest teams in Division III throughout the season and enters the weekend on its home courts.
TCNJ and St. John Fisher will compete for the opportunity to face Trinity in the opening round, while Moravian and Baruch round out the opposite side of the bracket. With several strong programs in the regional, the weekend presents another high-level postseason test for the Tigers.
Looking Ahead
With two matches separating Trinity from a trip to the NCAA Division III Championship Finals in Chattanooga, Tennessee, the focus shifts toward handling the opening rounds and competing well in a difficult regional environment.
