Cowley tennis teams beat up on NAIA opponent
Having faced nothing but NCAA Division I and DII schools heading into its match at Bethel College on Tuesday in Newton, the nationally ranked Cowley College men’s and women’s tennis teams made quick work of their matches against the NAIA Threshers.
The No. 5-ranked Tiger men did not drop a set in the 7-0 win over Bethel, and the second-ranked Lady Tigers defeated the Threshers 6-1.
"Both teams played really well," Cowley head coach Marcel Miasato said. "I was impressed by the way the boys and the girls handled their matches."
The Tiger tennis teams will play at NCAA Division II Southern Arkansas University on Saturday at 2 p.m.
"I am excited to see our teams play in Arkansas this weekend," Miasato said.
