STONY BROOK, N.Y. – Coming off an appearance in its first Missouri Valley Conference title match a season ago, the Stony Brook women's tennis team is ready to start its 2019-20 campaign with a trip to Providence, R.I. and the Brown Invitational.
 
Returners Jamie Wei (Chiayi City, Taiwan) and Nolwenn Cardoso (Paris, France) will lead the Seawolves after earning MVC All-Select distinctions at last year's team conference championship.

FORMAT
Play will begin on Friday at noon, Saturday at 10 a.m. and Sunday 9 a.m., with flights determining when each team will play. The teams in competition with the Seawolves are Brown, UMass, Dartmouth and Rhode Island.

Each program will have their team split up into pairs of two, with two singles matches and a doubles match featured. The winner of each matchup will move on into the next round, while the losers will drop into a different draw.
