ORLANDO, Fla. – The doubles pair of Charolette Kempenaers-Pocz and Gianna Oboniye will represent Mississippi State in the upcoming NCAA Doubles Championship, hosted by the University of Central Florida at the USTA National Campus in Orlando, Fla. The NCAA Championship event will run from Nov. 19-23.
All participants qualified for the championship through tournaments in approved qualifying pathway events throughout the fall. The four events consist of the ITA All-American Championships, ITA Regional Championships, ITA Sectional Championships, and ITA Conference Masters Championships.
How They Qualified
The Bulldog duo earned their qualifying spot at the ITA Southern Sectional Championships in Baton Rouge, La. Following a semifinal loss to the Georgia pair of Deniz Dilek and Emma Dong (6-3, 6-2), Kempenaers-Pocz and Oboniye won a tiebreak in their third-place playoff match to defeat Vanderbilt's 37th ranked pair of Bridget Stammel and Valeria.
Mississippi State Notes
Live Video and Results will be available through the USTA website.

Why The Championship Is In The Fall
The 2025 fall tennis season marks the second year of a two-year pilot program designed by the NCAA Division I Competition Oversight Committee and the ITA, which positions the NCAA Division I Individual Championships in November rather than in May following the NCAA Team Championships. Hosted at Baylor University in November of 2024, this year's NCAA Individual Championships will take athletes to Lake Nona, Florida where they will compete at the USTA National Campus. These championships will take place from November 19-23, while the NCAA Team Championships will be held in Athens, Georgia from May 14-17, 2026.
