IUP women's tennis (7-10, 2-1 PSAC West) starts an important week as they face divisional opponents Edinboro (2-14, 2-1) and Cal U (5-7, 1-2) Tuesday and Wednesday. The Crimson Hawks went 1-2 over the weekend, including a 6-1 victory over Wilmington (Del.) Saturday. 

NOTES

>> The top three teams in each PSAC division advance to the postseason, with the top seed getting a bye. IUP has been either the first or second seed in the West since 2011 (eight years).
>> Both Julia Newman and Mariana Valenzuela had five combined wins during IUP's 3-match weekend. As doubles partners, the two won all three of their matches together at the No. 2 spot while adding two singles wins each.
>> Newman's biggest win was a 6-1, 6-2 decision over Wilmington's Anushka Sathe, the 18th-ranked player in the East Region.
>> Newman leads the team with a 19-13 singles record, including an 8-8 mark at the No. 2 spot.
>> As a team, IUP has a 14-4 singles record and 8-1 doubles record during divisional play against Seton Hill, Clarion and Mercyhurst.

>> This will be the fourth straight year the Crimson Hawks have played Goldey-Beacom, winning each of the previous matches by a combined 20-7. 
>> IUP hasn't played Concordia since 2012 and is 3-0 against West Chester in the regular season since 2013.
