Women’s Tennis Ready to Start Season
SIUE’s women tennis coach Bill Logan looks for this season to be another strong one for the Cougars. The team will try to rebound from a fifth-place finish in the Great Lakes Valley Conference.
“We have been working hard, and I pleased so far,” said Logan.
Entering the season SIUE will look to senior Chrissy Yingst (Belleville) to be its top player. “Chrissy was 13-6 at No. 2 last season,” said Logan. “She is the new No. 1 on our team.”
Stepping up to take over the No. 2 spot for the Cougars will be junior Gina Wohltman (Effingham), who was 15-5 last season. Junior Allison Coats (Belleville) finished last season at 10-5 and will be the Cougars No. 3 at singles.
Junior Lisa Warner (Arlington Hts.) will play No. 4 singles after a 12-4 mark last season. Junior Celia Montes (Chicago) will start at No. 5 singles and freshman Katherine Ferry (Springfield) will be in the No. 6 spot.
The Cougars begin their season Tuesday traveling to Quincy to take on the Hawks at 3 p.m.
“I am hoping they all take advantage for first match,” said Logan. “It will be a good match in which to start the conference season.”
