MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — FIU's women's tennis program begins its title defense at the Conference USA (CUSA) Championships this week, hosted by Middle Tennessee, opening competition with the Quarterfinal round on Thursday, April 16 at 2 p.m. 

The Panthers will be in search of their fourth-straight CUSA Tournament crown this week in the Nashville-area. A tournament title for FIU would mark just the second-time in CUSA history that a team has won four-straight postseason championships, joining Rice who won five-straight from 2013-17. 

FIU, which is seeded second in the tournament and received a first-round bye, will match up with the winner of seventh-seeded New Mexico State and 10th-seeded and host-Middle Tennessee on Thursday afternoon. The full bracket for the four-day event is linked here. 

The final two days of competition will be streamed on ESPN+.
