MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C. – The College of Charleston women's tennis team is set to host the Pride of Hofstra University tomorrow in their Colonial Athletic Association home opener, at the CofC Tennis Complex, where doubles play is set to begin at 1:00 p.m.
The College (7-6) enters the most arduous stretch of their schedule Monday, in which they are set to play six matches over a six day period.

Monday's match will be the eighth of 14 consecutive home dates for the Cougars, who are led on court number one by recent CAA women's tennis Player of the Week, Kelly Kambourelis. CofC has also been bolstered by the recent strong play of freshman Cypriot Mara Argyriou.

Hofstra is led by director of tennis Lauren Leo, who is in her second year at the helm. At number one, the Pride are paced by 2013 third team all-CAA selection Sarah Bowen.
