INDIANAPOLIS---The NCAA Division III Women's Tennis Subcommittee selected individuals and doubles teams that will compete in the NCAA Division III Women's Tennis Championships. The individual championships include 32 single players and 16 double teams.

The selection of teams and individuals for the championships emphasizes in-region play based on head-to-head competition, won-lost record, strength of schedule, results against common opponents and teams, spring competition with an emphasis on late-season play, victories over student-athletes already selected for the championships, consistency of lineup, and eligibility and availability of student-athletes.

The team championship will be held May 12-14, and the singles and doubles championships will be held May 15-17. The finals will be held at Rhodes College and the Racquet Club of Memphis, Memphis, Tennessee. The finals team bracket is also attached.
