This weekend, the Adelphi University badminton team will take its competition level to new heights by leaving the state for the first time. On Friday, Nov. 8th, the team will be taking a road trip to Virginia to a tournament hosted by the College of William and Mary. The tournament is a two-day event. On Saturday, Nov. 9th, the team will be competing in men's doubles, women's doubles and mixed doubles. On Sunday, Nov. 10th, the team will continue to compete in doubles play while also competing in a singles bracket.

The tournament is hosted on the campus of the College of William and Mary, but a variety of other schools will also be making the trip to compete. University of Richmond, Duke University, James Madison University, George Mason University and Virginia Commonwealth University are all sending players. The Virginia Beach Badminton Club is also sending players.

The tournament requested a $15 entry fee per event per player, as well as a $10 facility fee. Due to the limited remaining budget, the Adelphi team will only send seven players to the tournament. These players are Jenna Cavuto, Daylynn Wu, Alissa Montalbano, Evelyn Rivera, Yao Zhao, Matt DeFrancisco and Donald Wunder.
