DURHAM, N.C. – The fifth-ranked Duke women's tennis team resumes competition this weekend in Durham, serving as one of 15 host sites for the 12th-annual Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Kickoff Weekend.
In addition to the Blue Devils, Kansas State, Mississippi State and Tulsa are also slated to compete in the two-day event held in Sheffield Indoor Tennis Center. The winner from each of the 15 sites earns a trip to Chicago, Ill., to compete in the 2020 ITA National Team Indoor Championship, scheduled for Feb. 7-10.
The Blue Devils are coming off two dominant sweeps of their first two opponents in Grand Canyon and Elon.
Duke features four players on the ITA singles rankings list and one doubles team. Junior Kelly Chen owns the highest ranking at No. 10 followed by No. 25 Chloe Beck, No. 67 Margaryta Bilokin and No. 77 Meible Chi. Beck and Chi check in at No. 35 in doubles.
Duke is slated to first take on Kansas State (1-0) Saturday at 2 p.m. and marks the first meeting between the two squads.
 The Wildcats arrive in Durham, N.C., with momentum following a 5-0 win against Penn State on Monday. Juniors Maria Linares, Anna Turco, Margot Decker and sophomore Rosanna Maffei all clinched victories in the No. 1-4 spots for the Wildcats, while the pairings of Turco and Decker and senior Ines Mesquita and sophomore Karine-Marion Job all locked up the doubles point to record a 5-0 win over the Nittany Lions in the home opener.
Kansas State features one ranked doubles tandem in No. 54 Decker and Turco.
The Blue Devils will either face Mississippi State or Tulsa on Sunday. Duke leads the series 2-0 against the Bulldogs as Sunday could be the potential first faceoff between the Blue Devils and the Hurricanes.
Mississippi State is 3-0 this season and is coming off a 5-2 victory against Xavier. Tulsa is 5-0 and most recently defeated Wyoming, 6-1.
Mississippi State features one ranked singles player (No. 84 Emma Antonaki) and two doubles tandems in No. 43 Magda Adaloglou/Tamara Racine and No. 45 Antonaki/Alexandra Mikhailuk. No. 52 Martina Okalova represents the singles ranked players for Tulsa while Okalova/Vera Ploner are on the doubles list at No. 40.
Following the ITA, the Blue Devils will travel to Columbus, Ohio to take on No. 25 Ohio State Friday, Jan. 31.
