FRESNO, Calif. – The Fresno State women's tennis team is scheduled to open Mountain West play this weekend in San Diego.

The Bulldogs enters the weekend having won their final nonconference contests before beginning their conference season, which will have a new look this season with multi-team pods with each squad playing up to two matches at that one location in a two or three day span.
This is the first time that each MW team is scheduled to face all 10 conference opponents and crown a regular season champion. There will be no MW women's tennis tournament this season with the regular season champion earning the conference's automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament.
