NEW HAVEN, Conn. (July 22, 2025) – Wilmington University has been chosen as the host school for the 2025 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Women’s Tennis Championship tournament. The two-day, single-elimination event will be held at the Delcastle Tennis Center in Wilmington, Del., on Oct. 18-19.

Wilmington is hosting the CACC Championship for the fifth consecutive year. The Wildcats are also the tournament’s four-time defending champions. Delcastle has six outdoor and six indoor courts and the event would move indoors in the event of inclement weather.

During Saturday’s semifinals, the No. 4 seed will play the No. 1 seed, followed by the No. 3 seed facing the No. 2 seed. Saturday’s winners will meet for the title on Sunday. The CACC champion will automatically qualify for the 2026 NCAA East Regional Championship in May.
