CARY, N.C. – Three Ole Miss women's tennis players head to Cary, North Carolina, for the ITA All-American Championships.

Ava Hrastar and Briana Crowley prepare for the double qualifying bracket and need three wins to advance to the main draw. The pairing is the first Rebels doubles team to participate in doubles at All-Americans since Machalova and 2018 All-American Alexa Bortles did so in 2019.
All three Rebels will start competing in the qualifying bracket on October 2.
