NORFOLK, Va. – Yuliia Starodubtseva of the Old Dominion women's tennis earned Conference USA's automatic bid for the upcoming NCAA Tennis Singles Championships. The NCAA Division I Women's Tennis Subcommittee selected a total 64 singles players that will compete in the 2021 NCAA Division I Women's Tennis Championships. The singles competition will be conducted May 23-28 at the USTA National Campus in Orlando, Florida. The University of Central Florida and the Greater Orlando Sports Commission will serve as hosts.
Starodubtseva was named the C-USA Player of the Year, while garnering All-Conference USA First Team accolades for singles, as well as doubles. The Kakhovka, Ukraine native is the highest ranked singles player in the conference (No. 51) after compiling an 11-2 record for the year.
All NCAA Tournament matches are the best-of-three sets. No-ad scoring and a 7-point tiebreaker (first to seven points, must win by two points) at six-games-all will be used for all matches.
Automatic qualification into the Division I singles championship is awarded to any conference with one or more eligible singles players ranked in the ITA Top 125 for eligible/entered singles players. For conferences with more than one singles player within the ITA Top 125 eligible/entered singles players, the subcommittee applies the NCAA selection criteria to determine which student-athlete is the automatic qualifier from those conferences. All singles players must have results for a minimum of six matches in order to be selected as an automatic qualifier or an at-large selection.
