The tournament field includes host Texas State, Tarleton, McNeese, UT Arlington, UTRGV, Stephen F. Austin, St. Mary's and Sam Houston.
The Bearkats have captured three draw championships during the fall. Freshman Maria Gajete won the A Flight singles title at the Bearkat Invitational, where Veronika Muzichenko placed second and Anamaria Kurtsikashvili finished third to give Sam Houston the top three positions in the draw.
Muzichenko also captured the Flight 7 singles championship at the Rice Invitational, while Sara Sadadinovic and Gajete went unbeaten to win the White Draw doubles title at the season-opening Lady Demon Invitational.

The States Up Slam will be the final competition of the fall for head coach Rob Hubbard and the Bearkats before they begin their dual-match schedule in January.
