IOWA CITY, Iowa – All seven University of Iowa women’s tennis student-athletes will head to Memphis, Tennessee, to compete in the ITA Division I Regional Championships from Oct. 9-14 at Leftwich Tennis Center.

Sophomore Jessica Matthews, juniors Daianne Hayashida, Tereza Dejnozkova, Pia Kranholdt, and Nikita Vishwase and seniors Marisa Schmidt and Barbora Pokorna will compete, beginning Wednesday.

“We are looking forward to Regionals, it’s always an important time in the fall season when we see the best competition in our region,” said Iowa head coach Sasha Boris-Schmid. “It’s even more important because it’s a qualifier into the NCAA Tournement. I know the team is really excited to get to Memphis, it’s a beautiful facility and we’re looking forward to the week ahead.”
