BUCKHANNON, W.Va. — The West Liberty University men's and women's tennis teams return to competition this weekend when the Hilltoppers take part in the Bobcat Bash, hosted by West Virginia Wesleyan.

The two-day event is scheduled for Saturday and Sunday in Buckhannon and features West Liberty, West Virginia Wesleyan, Salem and Frostburg State.

The West Liberty women's team will make its 2026-27 season debut at the Bobcat Bash, opening the fall campaign against a field that includes three other regional programs.

The West Liberty men's team will be looking to bounce back from its season-opening setback against Kutztown University on Sept. 25 at the Edgar Martin Tennis Complex.

Following the Bobcat Bash, both teams are scheduled to travel to Washington & Jefferson on Wednesday, Oct. 14, for a 4 p.m. match. The Hilltoppers will then compete at Bloomsburg on Friday, Oct. 16.
