Lady Tiger tennis picks up third straight win

Failing to lose a set for the third consecutive match, the No. 6-ranked Cowley College women’s tennis team defeated Baker University 9-0 Saturday afternoon in Baldwin City.
The 9-0 win came just two days after the Lady Tigers had defeated Bethel College and Hesston College by scores of 9-0.
“We pretty much stayed on top of them and kept our focus throughout the match,” Cowley head coach Josh Cobble said. “It was good to see there was no let down after bearing Bethel and Hesston on Thursday.”
Cowley’s No. 3 doubles tandem of Wrylie Finkle and Shannon Franz did not drop a game, while Finkle, Adrijana Pavlovic, and Jamie Blackim won their singles matches by scores of 6-0, 6-0.
Cobble was also impressed with the play of Brittney Berryman in a 6-1, 6-0 win over Baker University’s Ashlan Fort in an exhibition match.
Cowley, which is now 3-2 on the season, will play its first home match when they host Friends University Wednesday at 2 p.m. at the J.C. Louderback Tennis Courts.
“We hope to get a win heading into Spring Break, and then return with a positive outlook,” Cobble said.
