Women’s Tennis Gears Up For GLVC Tournament
SIUE’s women’s tennis team finished the regular season sixth in the Great Lakes Valley Conference with a record of 4-5. The Cougars will take on Southern Indiana on Friday in the GLVC Tournament in Indianapolis.
SIUE will look to rebound against the Screaming Eagles after losing to them 9-0 last Friday at the SIUE tennis courts.
The Cougars did finish off the regular season strong by defeating Kentucky Wesleyan 8-1 on Saturday at home.
Chrissy Yingst (Belleville) battled for a tough 6-2, 4-6, 10-6 win at No. 1 singles.
While Allison Coats (Belleville), Gina Wohltman (Effingham), Lisa Warner (Arlington Hts.), and Katherine Ferry (Springfield) all cruised to two-set victories over the Panthers.
The Cougars finished off their regular season by winning three out of their last five matches.
SIUE will look to upset second-seeded Southern Indiana as the two meet Friday morning at 9. Indianapolis is the top seed in the six-team tournament which will be played at the Indianapolis Tennis Center.
