The field includes student-athletes from 10 other schools, including Arkansas, Barry University, Boston College, UCF, Florida Atlantic, Nicholls State, Princeton, Saint Leo, Texas-Arlington and the host FGCU.
"We've had some nice results over the past few weekends of tournaments and we are just looking to build upon that with another good showing this weekend," Tulane head coach Mark Booras said. "We have a lot of tough teams coming from big conferences so we know that we will be pushed in every draw. We are excited about another opportunity to compete and get better."
Rey and Schmitz will play in the singles A Draw, while the Van Cott twins will both play in the B Draw. Sneddon is slated to play in the D Draw.
Rey and Schmitz will also pair up for doubles and are in the A Draw, while the Van Cotts will complete together in the B Draw in doubles.
