Tennis team scores big in tournament
by Addie Tschamler
Twooutofthree’s not bad. Atleast
not for the Meredith College tennis
team as they competed agains( Queens
College (a division II team), the rival
Saint Maiy’sCoUege and Mary Baldwin
College last weekend.
It all began after a two hour rain
delay on Friday when the Meredith
Angels ran up against Queens College
at the division II level. Meredith, a
division III team, lost to Queens, 3-6,
but ‘the most outstanding performance
was by senk>r Ashley Cooper,” stated
tennis coach Melincb Campbell in an
interview Monday. Cooper lost after a
tough three-set match to Jill Curtis of
Queens, but the Meredith Angels
proved they could rise above their loss
during Saturday’s tournament. With
two wins Saturday gainst Saint Mary’s
and Mary Baldwin, the Ai^els improved
their record to 6^.
“We pretty much dominated Saint
Mary's and Mary Baldwin. Campbell
commented, "We were clearly the
dominant team in both matches."
Meredith took down Saint Mary’s
7-2 and beat Mary Baldwin 8-1. The
team's highly conq^etitiveschedule this
year end?led them to improve as a
team overall and to become a more
dominant force at the division II level.
Coach Campbell is proud of her team's
dominance and confidence as a whole
and is particulariy pleased ^th the
development of intematk)nal student
Shina Suzuki who excelled to the num
ber one position and has competed
well with other teams' best players.
She is beginning to be recognized by
other schools as a “formidable oppo
nent," according to Can^bell.
“I’m proud of the confidence the
team members have shown in their
abilities,” Campbell said. Campbell
noted that this great confidence the
team possessed stemmed from the lead
ership provided by the three senior
team members: Jennifer Williams,
Ashley Cooper and Rachel Gilley, who
are involved in other activities besides
tennis such as student government
This involvement ‘speaks highly of the
kind of people they are," CampbeU
commented.
The next match wUl be today
(Wednesday)at 2:50 gainst Longwood
College. The last three matches will be
held at home gainst Salem (April 13),
Chowan (April 15), and Saint Mary's
(April 20). (impbeU concluded, “This
will be the last chance to see the se
niors who have been a viable force of
the program for a long time."
