DURHAM, N.C. -- Members of the Duke women's tennis team are set to open their final competition of the fall season Friday, with the Blue Devils serving as a satellite site for the Kitty Harrison Invitational. The three-day event, split between Durham, N.C., and Chapel Hill, N.C., will feature competitors from 14 teams.
In addition to the Blue Devils, eight teams attending the invitational are scheduled to compete in Durham, including Minnesota, Texas Tech, Virginia, William & Mary, Penn State, Iowa, ECU and Maryland.
The Blue Devils open Friday's competition with doubles action against Minnesota at 9 a.m., before returning to the courts at 10:30 a.m. to face doubles pairs from Virginia. The first day of the invitational concludes for Duke with singles play against Texas Tech beginning at noon.
