The SIUE women’s tennis team will open its spring schedule this weekend when five individuals participate in the Principia Invitational in Elsah.
Singles competition will be held on Friday, with doubles action taking place on Saturday. Coach Bill Logan hopes his team can build on its performance during the fall semester.
“I really thought the team did well last year although we finished fifth,” Logan said. “We had numerous close matches and could have easily placed better.”
Gina Wohltman (Effingham), who led the team in the fall with 11 victories, will be one of five SIUE participants in the Principia Invitational. Lisa Warner (Arlington Hts.), Chrissy Yingst (Belleville) and Allison Coats (Belleville) also will try to build on their impressive fall season. Celia Montes (Chicago) will make her Cougar debut at the tournament.
“This is a tournament with good competition and is a great tournament to start off the spring season,” Logan said.
During the fall, the Cougars played to a 9-5 overall record and a 5-4 mark in the Great Lakes Valley Conference.
