SMITHFIELD, R.I. -- Bryant University women's tennis head coach Barbara Cilli announced the 2022 fall schedule on Monday afternoon. 

Bryant, the 2022 champions of the Northeast Conference, begin their first year in the Southland Conference this fall. The Bulldogs' fall slate includes three scrimmages and four tournaments. 

The Black and Gold open the fall on Wednesday when they host Stonehill at the Bryant Tennis Courts. Bryant will also face Providence College (Oct. 15) and Merrimack (Oct. 28) in scrimmages this fall. 

Bryant's first tournament will be the UConn Invitational from Sept. 16-18 in Storrs, Conn. The following weekend, Bryant will head to West Point, N.Y., for the Army Invitational. 

The ITA Northeast Regionals are the final weekend of September and will be hosted at Dartmouth College in Hanover, N.H. The ITA Super Regionals will be held October 20 at Yale University in New Haven. 

Bryant's final event of the year will be the URI Doubles Invitational which will be held on October 9.
