Conference USA officials have moved up the University of Delaware women’s tennis team’s opening tournament match by one day due to anticipated severe weather in the southeastern region.
The Blue Hens will now take on fifth-seeded Jacksonville State on Wednesday instead of the originally planned Thursday matchup in the first round of the Conference USA tournament.
Tournament organizers made the scheduling adjustment after meteorologists predicted dangerous weather conditions throughout the south Atlantic area that could potentially disrupt play later in the week.
The change affects Delaware’s opening round contest as the team prepares to compete against one of the conference’s top-ranked programs in Jacksonville State.
