WKU women’s tennis will close its fall schedule at the Middle Tennessee Fall Invitational in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, Oct. 23-25. The Lady Toppers are scheduled for doubles and singles matches against Butler, Lipscomb, Middle Tennessee, Chattanooga and UNC Asheville, with head coach Greg Davis emphasizing consistent effort and testing players in different lineup spots.

By the Numbers
  • 3 days of competition: Oct. 23-25.
  • 5 opponents: Butler, Lipscomb, Middle Tennessee, Chattanooga and UNC Asheville.
  • WKU finished the 2026 season 11-14 and has reached double-digit wins for 5 consecutive seasons.
  • The program has won 73 matches over the past 5 seasons, its best total for any 5-year span.
Yes, But

WKU’s recent win totals offer reason for optimism, but Davis says the team needs greater consistency. He also expects a challenging field that includes regional opponents with winning records, particularly Chattanooga and Lipscomb.

State of Play
  • The invitational is WKU’s final event of the fall.
  • Six players return from the 2025-26 team; offseason additions Madison Hill and Emily Meng transferred from Saint Louis and Quinnipiac, respectively.
  • Davis plans to rotate the lineup to evaluate players in different positions.
What’s Next

WKU opens Friday with doubles against Butler at 3:30 p.m. CT and singles against Lipscomb at 4:30 p.m. CT. The tournament continues through Sunday, with the Lady Toppers’ final scheduled matches against Chattanooga in doubles and UNC Asheville in singles.

Bottom Line

The final fall tournament is both a competitive test and a chance for WKU to find the steady play Davis says the team needs before the next season.
