Indianapolis,
IN---The NCAA has released the 2004 Division III Women's
Tennis Championship Selections for individual singles and
doubles competition (32 singles players and 16 doubles teams),
as well as the 2004 NCAA Division III Women's Tennis Team
Championship Bracket, which consists of 8 teams (the winners
of this past weekend's regional championships). The selection
of teams and individuals for the championships emphasizes
in-region play based on head-to-head competition, won-lost
record, strength of schedule, results against common opponents
and teams, spring competition with an emphasis on late-season
play, victories over student-athletes already selected for
the championships, consistency of lineup, and eligibility
and availability of student-athletes.

2004 Team Championship will be played at Rhodes College
(Memphis, TN) between May 12-14, at Rhodes' Dunavant Tennis
