Katka Sevcikova, Urska Juric, Cassie Drake, Mary Barry, and Kristina Olshanskaya have been selected to participate in the ITA Central Regional Tournament. Lucie Ruskova was chosen as an alternate. The prestigious tournament will be held October 24-28, in Tulsa, Okla. The Regional Tournament is invitation-only and is comprised of the top players from the top tennis programs in the Central Region of the United States.

"I'm pleased we got in as many as we did," Missouri Head Coach Blake Starkey said. "We've been playing pretty well, and hopefully we'll continue that down there. At this point, we just want as many good matches as possible."

Prior to the Regional Tournament, the Tigers have a tune-up this weekend at the Drake Invitational in Des Moines, Iowa.
