First, the Princeton women's tennis team saw its name appear on the NCAA tournament selection show, headed to Virginia to face South Carolina in the Round of 64.
Then, the men's team, after waiting through the first half of the bracket reveal, saw its name appear, also headed to Virginia to open against Minnesota.
The men will get to play their match first, facing Minnesota at 10 a.m. Friday with the Virginia-St. John's match to follow. Princeton's women will lead off Saturday's play, facing South Carolina at 9 a.m. with the Virginia-VCU match to follow. If the men win, they'll face the Virginia-St. John's winner at 3 p.m. Saturday, and if the women win, they'll face the Virginia-VCU winner at noon Sunday.
One of the four teams each from the men's and women's regionals at Virginia will head to Waco, Texas for the Round of 16 and beyond.
It's the women's team's second straight NCAA tournament appearance and sixth overall. It's the men's team's eighth appearance overall but first since 1998. The women have played in the NCAAs at Virginia once before, opening against the host Cavaliers and dropping a 4-3 decision. The men will play at Virginia in the NCAAs for the first time.
