VERMILLION, S.D. – A trio of invitational meets and the 2019 ITA Regionals held in Norman, Oklahoma highlight the 2019 South Dakota women's tennis fall schedule announced Tuesday by head coach Brett Barnett.
 
"I'm really excited for this season to get started," said Barnett. "We have a strong group of returning players coming back and a lot of new talent. We are going to be extremely deep this year.

"This fall schedule is going to allow us to play against different levels of teams which will show us what we need to work on for the spring. It's nice that we are able to play at Creighton in the fall since the same facility will host the Summit League tournament this spring. It's always good to get a feel for how the courts will play so we know what to expect. The highlight of our fall is always the Regional Championships and we need to make sure we are improving daily and competing hard since our region is one of the toughest in the country."

The Coyotes open the fall at the Drake Invitational held Sept. 13-15 in Des Moines, Iowa. A trip to Laramie, Wyoming for the Wyoming Invite is set for Sept. 20-22 followed by the Creighton Invite in Omaha on Sept. 27-28.
 
The University of Oklahoma hosts the ITA Central Regional from Oct. 17-20 to conclude the fall slate.
