Ferreira and Parada will compete at the ITA Cup in Rome, Georgia from October 12-15. Parada has a chance to earn an at-large bid for singles competition with reaching the semifinals, but we will have to wait for the committee to announce the selections in the coming weeks. 

This is the second-straight season that Cumberland has sent a doubles team to the ITA Cup. Last season, Pavel Kelo and Adrijan Hrzic competed at the ITA Cup in doubles and finished Top 10 in the NAIA.
