Lohan, Wagner Chosen for Oracle/ITA Masters

CORAL GABLES, Fla. Sinead Lohan and Stephanie Wagner of the University of Miami women’s tennis team were both announced Thursday by the ITA as selections for the inaugural Oracle/ITA Masters this fall.

The first national collegiate championship of the 2015-16 season, the event will be held Sept. 18-20 at the Malibu Racquet Club in Malibu, Calif.

Sixteen of the nation’s very best players will participate in the singles tournament, with 14 of them already decided and the other two set to be determined later as wild cards. The ACC leads the way with six selections thus far and Miami is one of four schools with multiple players in the field.

The winners of each draw—women’s singles, women’s doubles, men’s singles, women’s doubles—will earn an automatic bid to the 2015 USTA/ITA National Indoor Intercollegiate Championships.

Lohan, a rising sophomore, and Wagner, a rising senior, were both ITA All-Americans in singles in 2015. Lohan finished the season ranked No. 20 and the reached the quarterfinals of the NCAA Singles Championship, while Wagner concluded the year ranked ninth and made the tournament’s semifinals.
