did.”

In the first match of the season, the BC
women’s tennis team captured the victory
against Tusculum College, 8-1.
BC’s number one seed Joely White
defeated Tusculum’s Debbie John 6-3, 6-2.
Number two seeded Kim Sowell downed
Kay Greene 6-4,6-2. Other Lady Tornado
wins included Kazumi Egusa (3) over June
Miller, 6-0, 6-0, Michelle Morton (4) over
Janet Greenlee, 6-4, 4-6, 6-2. Satina Waites
defeated Kathy Carlson, 6-4, 3-6, 6-4, while
teammate Crystal Dalton beat Leslie Con-
duff 6-4, 6-2.
In double’s action, the team of White-
Sowell soundly defeated Tusculum’s John-
Greene, 6-2, 6-2. Tusculum’s Miller-
Greenlee t>eat BC partners Egusa-Morton
4-6, 6-4, 6-3, while Waites-Dalton downed
Carlson-Conduff, 6-4, 6-4.
Although five of the six women are walk-
ons, everyone seems to be enthused about
the team’s prospect for the season. “Wc
are starting scratch,” said Joely. “this is a
new situation for a lot of my team
members, but we will do what we can.”
For Coach Radford, coaching tennis is
also new. Coach Radford says, “As long as
we play hard and have a go^ time, I think
that we will do alright.”
Since the majority of players are now on
the tennis team, they may have an uphill
battle. But with the help of Joely White and
Kim Sowell, the one and two seeds, the
team’s prospect for this season coule be
promising.
With hard work and some luck, the B
women’s tennis team could serve up a
good season.
