TOURNAMENT DRAWS/TEAMS
Setting the Scene

Where: Lenz Tennis Center (Princeton, N.J.)
Teams: Army West Point, Bucknell, Buffalo, Colgate, Delaware, Drexel, Gardner-Webb, Hofstra, Lehigh, Marist, Middlebury, NJIT, Temple, William & Mary
Tournament Format
The tournament will have schools' players entered in pairs of two for a "mini Davis Cup format." Each pair will form a team that will play doubles first, followed by two singles matches.
