The doubles draw is composed of 64 duos, and representing the Wildcats will be the tandems of Claire Fisher / Ileana Mocciola, Sarah Adams / Nini Memishishi, Allison Stewart / Sylvia Viljoen, and Eva Du Toit / Andrea Guerrero.
The singles' bracket is stacked with 128 student-athletes with ACU's first-round opposition featuring competitors from Rice, UT Arlington, UTRGV, UIW, TCU, Texas State and Texas A&M. Individuals who lose their opening match will be placed in a consolation draw.
