NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Vanderbilt women’s tennis is set to host the annual June Stewart Invitational Friday through Sunday. Clemson, Kentucky, Lipscomb, Northwestern, Ole Miss, and Purdue make up the visiting schools.
This year’s invitational marks the 12th straight year the Dores have hosted the event, named in honor of Vanderbilt athletics trailblazer June Stewart. Stewart, a member of the Vanderbilt athletics hall of fame class of 2008, served as the Commodores’ sports information director from 1979-90 and spent over 30 years total at Vanderbilt. She helped bring publicity to the growing popularity of women’s collegiate athletics and was at the forefront of introducing influential changes to sports marketing and technology usage.
Six members of the team will compete in the invitational for the Dores: senior Amy Stevens, juniors Naomi Katz and Sonya Macavei, and freshmen Sophia Webster, Trinetra Vijayakumar, and Jayden Jagolinzer. The invitational will be played in a round-robin format for singles and doubles, with singles being a first to two out of three sets and doubles consisting of one six-game set.
Friday play is slated for a 9 a.m. CT start, with Vanderbilt matching up against Clemson and Northwestern opponents in singles. Doubles is set to begin not before 11 a.m., and a second round of singles will follow afterwards. The tournament page is available online.
