MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The West Virginia University tennis team travels to Charleston, West Virginia, for its first action of the fall tournament season at Thunder in the Mountains, from Sept. 20-22.

"We are looking forward to getting the competitive part of the fall semester under way," WVU coach Miha Lisac said. "It will be a good tournament for us to get some competition in this weekend."
Thunder in the Mountains is the first collegiate invitational women's tennis tournament jointly hosted by WVU and Marshall. The Mountaineers and Thundering Herd welcome four teams to the West Virginia state capital this weekend – Akron, James Madison, Toledo and Youngstown State.
