The men defeated Kaskaskia 9-0 in their Region 24 championship match on April 22, and will compete at Nationals in Plano, Texas May 14-18.
“It is exciting heading to nationals," said Anna Darr, women’s tennis first-year head coach. “One of our biggest strengths is our ability to focus as individual players and still be able to come through as a team.”
Men’s Head Coach James Humphrey said hard work and focus is what has led his team to this point.
“It paid off with some great individual matches and big wins, including a close victory over a strong Principia team and the first regular season win against Missouri Baptist in three years," he said.
