Facing off against several NCAA and NAIA schools, Cowley College’s
men and women’s tennis players had an opportunity to compete at
the Inter-Collegiate Invitational held Friday through Sunday in Wichita.
The Tiger men competed at Wichita State University, while the women’s
tennis matches were played at the Riverside Tennis Center.
“It was a really high level of tennis with very few easy matches,” Cowley
College head tennis coach Josh Cobble said. “This tournament allowed
us to see what we need to work on to prepare for the fall region tournament
and the spring season.”
On the men’s side, Roger White had a solid showing as he advanced
to the finals of the second flight of singles before losing to Southwest
Baptist University’s Jorge Palacios 3-6, 6-7. White went 4-1 in
singles play.
“Roger had a great tournament,” said Cobble.
On the women’s side, Jamie Blackim and Natalia Medina played doubles
together for the first time and advanced to the round of 16 before losing.
Lady Tigers’ Jessica Montemayor and Adrijana Pavlovic also teamed
to advance to the quarterfinals in doubles play. Both doubles teams were
eliminated by players from Wichita State University.
The Lady Tiger tennis team will play at Southwestern College Thursday
at 3:30 p.m. prior to both the men and women’s teams playing at
Washburn University Saturday at 1 p.m.
“Hopefully, we will be a little better by Saturday and continue to show
improvement,” Cobble said.
