WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – The No. 24-ranked Tulsa women's tennis team will open play at the NCAA's Sweet Sixteen Thursday against the No. 21-ranked Florida State Seminoles. Match time is expected to be at 5 p.m. Due to poor weather conditions, the Tulsa-FSU match has been moved to the University of North Carolina campus' indoor complex.

The matchup between TU and FSU was scheduled to take place at the Wake Forest Tennis Complex, but due to weather the North Carolina indoor complex is serving as a backup facility. The winner will play the winner of the No. 1 seed Vanderbilt and No. 16 seed Miami on Saturday, May 19, at 4 p.m.
