INDIANAPOLIS – Familiar names surfaced on the 2015 NCAA Division III Women's Tennis Tournament bracket Monday afternoon.

Landmark Conference Champion Elizabethtown learned it will face SUNY Geneseo in an opening round match for the second year in a row. The Blue Jays and State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) Champion Knights will meet Friday at Amherst College in Amherst, Mass.

E-town (16-3) was awarded an automatic berth for the sixth consecutive season after winning its first Landmark title, 5-2, over Scranton Saturday. The Blue Jays won five straight Commonwealth Conference championships before swapping conferences prior to the start of the 2014-15 season.

SUNY Geneseo defeated Elizabethtown, 5-1, in the first round last spring at Fredericksburg, Va. The Blue Jays (19th in the Atlantic South Region) and Knights (15th in the Northeast Region) both come into this year's tournament regionally-ranked. Geneseo knew its spot in the NCAA tourney was guaranteed for nearly seven months after shutting out New Paltz, 5-0, for the SUNYAC championship back in mid-October.

Elizabethtown will be making its seventh appearance in the national tournament overall (2008, 2010-15), all of which have come under current head coach Matt Helsel. The Blue Jays have a 2-6 record in tournament play, with first round victories in 2012 and 2013.
