NORFOLK, Va. – Old Dominion women’s tennis junior Sofia Johnson will open NCAA Singles Championship play on Monday afternoon at the Greenwood Tennis Center on the campus of Oklahoma State.

Johnson faces Carly Briggs of Florida at 2 p.m. ET on Monday in the first round of the 64-player bracket. A win will put her against either Andjela Skrobonja, of San Diego State or Lisa Zaar of Pepperdine on Tuesday.
