Women’s Tennis Begins Non-GLVC Schedule
         For the first time this season, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville’s women’s tennis will play a non-conference opponent.
         SIUE, 5-3 overall and in the Great Lakes Valley Conference, will square off Friday against Illinois College. Action will begin at 3 p.m. at SIUE’s tennis courts.
         “This is the start of a number of non-conference matches,” Coach Bill Logan said. “These are schedules to help us stay in tune in preparing for the GLVC Tournament.”
         SIUE is coming off a 2-1 week that saw wins against Saint Joseph’s and Bellarmine. It’s defeat came against Northern Kentucky.
         Logan attributes much of the team’s success to doubles. As a team, the Cougars have posted an 18-6 doubles record on the season.
         The Cougars are currently in fifth place in the GLVC standings. They play one more conference match before the Oct. 11 GLVC Tournament.
         Every Cougar player has either a .500 or better winning record. Gina Wohltman (Effingham) and Lisa Warner (Arlington Hts.) each have seven victories. SIUE’s No. 2 doubles duo of Warner and Laura Zeeb (Greenville) has a 7-1 record.
