Women’s Tennis Earns No. 3 Seed for GLVC Tournament
The SIUE women’s tennis team, which earned the No. 3 seed for this week’s Great Lakes Valley Conference Tournament, faces No.6-seeded Quincy University in the first round.
SIUE Coach Bill Logan said he thinks the Cougars can go far if the team applies some extra effort.
“We’re looking forward to facing Quincy,” said Logan. “All of our players are healthy and playing well right now.”
The Cougars did not play up to expectations at this past weekend’s Intercollegiate Tennis Association’s regional tournament in Indianapolis. All five of SIUE’s entries lost in the first round of the single-elimination tournament. The doubles teams finished a little better. The teams of Amber Stanley (Effingham) and Laura Zeeb (Greenville) as well as Coryn Reich (Newton) and Chrissy Yingst (Belleville) both won first-round matches but were later defeated in the second round.
