MALIBU, Calif. — Pepperdine women's tennis sophomores Alexia Harmon & Anastasiia Grechkina are set for competition at ITA Conference Masters beginning Thursday from Barnes Tennis Center in San Diego. Harmon will contest in the singles draw while pairing with Grechkina in the doubles draw.

The tournament sees each NCAA automatic qualification eligible Division I conference send one singles player and one doubles team from each gender to participate in the event. Overall, four singles players will qualify for the NCAA Singles Championship (semifinalists) and three doubles teams will qualify for the NCAA Doubles Championship through the Conference Masters (champion, finalist, third place).
