The ITA Kick-Off Weekend will serve as the qualifier for the ITA National Team Indoor Championships which will be held Feb. 12-15. The Championships will take place at the Boar's Head Sports Club in Charlottesville, Va., and will be hosted by the University of Virginia.
The 60-team field, which includes 15 host schools, was selected based on the final ITA rankings of the 2008-09 campaign. SDSU received a No. 44 ranking after tallying a 15-12 overall record, its 12th straight winning season.
