Head Coach Chris Cagle commented on the team's final tournaments of the fall season. "We are excited for our last tournament weekend of the fall. Both the UNC and Dartmouth tournaments have strong fields so it will be a good test for us to close the fall. We have had a number of singles players and doubles teams that have been progressing so Coach Fenwick and I look forward to seeing them in action this weekend. We hope to see Penn State alumni out for our last weekend of tournament competition for the fall."

Both tournaments run from Friday, November 4 till Sunday, November 6.
