Luther to host NCAA Division III women's tennis tournament qualifications

Regular season Iowa Conference champions Luther College will host the four-team women's Iowa Conference Automatic Qualifier on Saturday.  The top four teams from last fall's Iowa Conference team tournament will compete to decide who will earn the automatic bid to the 2010 NCAA Division III National Tennis Tournament.

Semifinal round action will begin at 10:00 a.m. Saturday.  #1 seed Luther will play #4 seed Cornell College and #2 seed Coe will play #3 seed Wartburg.  The finals are scheduled for 2:00 p.m. or one hour after the semifinals are complete.

The first three rounds of the national tournament will be held May 14th, 15th and 16th, with the site yet to be determined.
