PHILADELPHIA - The Inaugural Saint Joseph's Women's Tennis Invitational, scheduled for October 2-4, has been canceled. The Hawks open play at the SJU Tennis Complex at the Maguire Campus this Wednesday versus Mount St. Mary's at 3 p.m.

Beginning this season, Saint Joseph's tennis program moves to the SJU Tennis Complex at the Maguire Campus. The Tennis Complex, which underwent renovations during the spring and summer, adds six new courts as well as new offices and locker rooms for both the women's and men's tennis teams.

The long-time home of the Episcopal Academy, the 38-acre James J. Maguire Campus adds 52 classrooms, eight full laboratories, 113 offices, and 14.5 acres of sports fields to Saint Joseph's University's current 65-acre footprint. Under head coach Ian Crookenden, Saint Joseph's has mapped out a plan to extend the program's reach on campus, regionally and nationally, starting with the Hawks' new home.
