Orange Open Season at ITA Kickoff Weekend

SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Syracuse opens the 2021 campaign at the 13th annual ITA Kickoff Weekend in Columbus, Ohio. The Orange take on host Ohio State on Saturday, Jan. 23 at 9 a.m. The winner of that match faces the winner between Tennessee and Virginia on Sunday, Jan. 24 at 1 p.m. The consolation match is scheduled for 10 a.m.

The champion from the Ohio State region advances to the ITA Women's Team Indoor Championship at Oklahoma State on Feb. 5-7.

The Orange return six players from last year's squad that posted an 8-3 record in dual matches before the season was cut short due to COVID-19. Graduate student Miranda Ramirez enters her fifth season tied for 13th in career wins at Syracuse with 131. She was an All-ACC Third Team honoree as a junior when she finished the season with a team-best 18-8 singles record.
