Valparaiso University women's tennis coach Tim Maluga has announced that the Crusaders will play two weekends during the 2005 fall season.

Valpo, the defending Mid-Continent Conference regular season and tournament champions, will open the fall campaign September 23-25 at the DePaul Invitational in Chicago. The Crusaders then head to the University of Chicago on September 30 for a dual match against the Maroons.

Maluga returns five players from last year's squad that finished the spring dual season 15-5 overall and a perfect 8-0 in Mid-Con action.
