Tiger tennis teams gear up to host ITA Regional Tourney
With the Intercollegiate Tennis Association approaching, the Cowley College men’s and women’s tennis teams competed at the Billingsley Family of Dealerships Tennis Invitational on Friday in Midwest City, OK.
The Tiger tennis players faced NCAA Division II schools Cameron University (OK) and Midwestern State (TX), while also competing against NCAA Division I school Oral Roberts University.
"It was a tough tournament, but I thought we performed really well in both singles and doubles," Cowley head coach Marcel Miasato said. "We have a large group of talented freshmen this year, and they showed me this weekend that they are hungry to win and succeed here at Cowley. I am excited to see them compete at Regionals."
The Tiger tennis teams will host the ITA Regional Tournament on September 18-20 at the Arkansas City High School Tennis Courts.
