In doubles action, West Virginia will look to senior Raynie Theis and sophomore Stacey Percival as they will compete in the tournaments main draw. The pair posted a 3-0 record at the Martha Thorn Invitational.
"Raynie and Stacey have 11 wins in two years while competing together," Silverstein said. "They're one of our strongest doubles teams and have the potential to make it far in the tournament."
The duo of Catherine Koontz and Kelly Walsh will also compete as they posted a 5-1 record last year.
"Catherine and Kelly form a strong doubles team and proved that last year with big wins in the BIG EAST," Silverstein said. "We look forward to them moving on and qualifying for the main draw."
