Tiger tennis teams open fall slate in Lawton, OK

With the Cowley College women's tennis team coming off its first-ever national championship in the spring and the Tiger men's tennis team finishing as the national runner-up only one season after capturing the title, the Cowley men's and women's tennis teams kicked off its fall tennis schedule by taking part in the Billingsley Family of Dealerships Tennis Invite Friday and Saturday in Lawton, OK.

Along with host Cameron University, the individual tournament included MSU-Texas along with Cowley College and Seward County Community College. 

First-year Cowley College head tennis coach Marcel Miasato was pleased with what he saw from his squads.

"It was a great tournament to start the fall," Miasato said. "We had some really good matches against really good schools. We are going to continue the hard work and keep moving forward."
