DURHAM, N.C. – The North Carolina Central University women's tennis team under the direction of head coach Sofia Rachi has released the 2025 spring schedule featuring seven home matches.

The Eagles are slated for 23 contests and open the season against two Atlantic Coast Conference opponents. Duke will host a doubleheader on Jan. 20 as NC Central plays the Blue Devils and closes the day with Virginia Tech.

Continuing on the road, the Maroon and Gray head to East Carolina (Jan. 31) and UNC Wilmington (Feb. 1). The Eagles return home to host a doubleheader facing Winston-Salem State and Chowan on Feb. 8. NCCU welcomes two more opponents as Furman (Feb. 14) and the University of Mount Olive (Feb. 15) make their way to Durham.

Seven of the eight upcoming matches will be on the road as the Eagles travel to UNC Asheville (Feb. 27), Longwood (March 1) and Hampton (March 2).
