Doubles Lead the Way for Women’s Tennis
SIUE women’s tennis coach Bill Logan believes strongly that his team’s ability to play well in doubles matches will lead to victories. The Cougars used their doubles play to defeat Missouri St. Louis 6-3 last week to improve to 3-4 overall and in the Great Lakes Valley Conference this year. “We won all three doubles matches,” said Logan. “That’s the name of the game in Division II tennis.”
As well as playing good on the doubles side the Cougars’ singles play was led by senior Chrissy Yingst (Belleville), who won at No. 1 singles cruising to a 6-2, 6-1 win improving her record to 4-2 on the year. “Chrissy played really well,” said Logan. “She led the way with a significant win.”
Also winning at No. 4 singles was Lisa Warner (Arlington Hts.) winning 6-2, 6-4 for her as she improved to 4-2. Freshman Katherine Ferry (Springfield) won at No. 6 singles in dominating fashion 6-1, 6-0. “She did well,” said Logan. “Picking up a big win for us.”
The Cougars will look to get the .500 mark as they take on Southern Indiana at home on October 1 at 3 p.m.
