Saint Louis University captures the 2026 USTA Missouri Valley Fall Invite in St. Joseph

Sixteen collegiate club tennis teams from across the USTA Missouri Valley converged in St. Joseph, Mo., for the USTA Missouri Valley Tennis On Campus Fall Invite.

This year’s tournament was held at Noyes Tennis Center on Oct. 3-4.

After two days of tennis, teamwork and absolutely perfect weather, a champion was crowned with Saint Louis University taking home the title.

The Billikens defeated the University of Oklahoma Sooners in the championship matchup.

Rounding out the championship bracket was Oklahoma State University being awarded third-place honors, with the Southern Illinois University Edwardsville ‘A’ team finishing fourth.

A special thanks goes out to USTA Missouri Valley staff members Talli Shepherd, Laura Jager, Victoria Moore, Marissa Moment Brown and Mary Buschmann.

And thanks to the staff at Noyes Tennis Center — specifically Brett Esely and Gary Smith — for their assistance in making this tournament a success.

The St. Joseph, MO Sports Commission and the St. Joseph Convention & Visitors Bureau were amazing.
