By Zina Kumok · Wednesday, Oct. 31,2007 11:26 p.m.

In its last tournament of the fall season, the IU women’s tennis team will compete at the Western Michigan Duals this weekend. IU coach Lin Loring said other teams competing in the tournament, including Western Michigan, Wichita State, Yale and Depaul, have high-ranked players that should make the top brackets interesting to watch. He also said IU’s depth will help the team in the lower brackets. As in previous tournaments, Loring said the focus will be on doubles pairings.

For Pisano, however, it is more than a quirky handbook; the commentary and annotated features are important resources.
