San Marcos, Texas - The Texas State women's tennis team will open the 2015-16 season on Sept. 10-12 when the Bobcats travel to Cancun, Mexico and play in the Barceló College Cup II. Texas State will be competing against teams from Wyoming, Southeastern Louisiana and Lamar.
 
The Barceló College Cup uses a Fed Cup or Davis Cup format with each team playing four singles and one doubles match per dual. All matches, including doubles play, will be decided by winning two of three sets.
 
Each team will rank their singles players and doubles team. The two players participating in the doubles team used each day will not play in the singles matches during that match. A different ranked doubles team plays each day.
 
Following the Barceló College Cup, Texas State will travel to the Air Force Academy Invitational on Sept. 18-20 and the Rice Invitational on Sept. 25-27 before hosting its annual Texas State Play Day Tournament on Oct. 17. The Bobcats will conclude their fall schedule at the ITA Regional Championships in College Station, Texas on Oct. 22-26.
 
Texas State returns three players from last season. They are senior Katy Collins and juniors Eva Dench and Pippa Carr. Freshmen Yadira Rubio, Bianca Birkenstock and Chia Ming Ming Joy will join them this season.
