Irish women’s tennis set to close out regular season against Syracuse, Boston College

·

The matches come in advance of next week’s ACC Championship, and Notre Dame’s performance this weekend could significantly impact their seeding at the tournament. The No. 27 Irish (13-9, 4-7 ACC) currently sit eighth in a tightly bunched ACC. No. 36 Syracuse (11-7, 4-7 ACC) is even with Notre Dame, while No. 41 Boston College (10-9, 3-8 ACC) is just a single game back. Losing both matches could drop the Irish as low as 12th, while a pair of wins could vault them into the top half of the standings. Notre Dame hopes that a strong conference tournament showing will earn them their first NCAA Tournament bid since 2017.
