Logan OK With Team's Performance
        SIUE women’s tennis coach Bill Logan knows that his team sits in the middle of the pack of the Great Lakes Valley Conference, but Logan also know his team is about hit its stride. The Cougars are 2-4 after a recent road trip to St. Joseph’s and Lewis.
        The Cougars defeated St. Joseph’s 8-0 on Friday, getting great performance from each Cougar. “They did a good job,” said Logan. “They played fine.” Freshman Katherine Ferry (Springfield) picked up her first win at No. 6 singles in the match.
        SIUE followed that up with a tough 8-1 loss to Lewis. “Lewis is one of the top teams in the conference as well as the region,” said Logan. Allison Coats (Belleville) was the lone winner at No. 3 singles losing the first set 6-1 before coming back to win the second set 6-2. She finished off the match with a 11-9 tie breaker win to run her record to 4-1 on the year.
        The Cougars will continue conference play as Missouri-St. Louis visits the SIUE tennis courts on Tuesday afternoon at 3 p.m. SIUE then travels to the ITA Mid-American Regional in Midland, Mich., for a tournament this weekend.
