Women's IIAC Team Championship

As expected, by virtue of their unblemished W-L mark, the Kohawks received the unanimous top seed for the IIAC Team Championships. Coe will face the winner of the Central College/Cornell College matchup Saturday morning(10/10) at the Klotz Tennis courts on the West Campus of the University of Iowa in Iowa City, Iowa. Luther College, Wartburg College, and Loras College are the other schools qualifying for play.

Men's ITA Recap

Greg Janssen's three victories on Friday highlighted the ITA tourney. Greg fell Saturday to Gustavus' #1 in a three and a half hour contest. All three Coe doubles pairs(Janssen/Khristenko, Stegemann/Tucker, King/Newman) won at least one round of doubles in the rain-marred event. Look for the Kohawks to be a factor regionally during the Winter/Spring dual match season, as FB Kicker/Soccer Forward Elliot Rausa rejoins the Team. Over half the Team was in on Monday working on their games on their own!

Men's ITA

Greg Janssen thru to round of 16. For the 3rd time in his career Greg Janssen has advanced to the round of 16 despite never having been seeded in the top 16. Quite an accomplishment! As of this moment Ryan King is on court trying to join Greg in the round of 16. Saturday's ITA schedule? Two rounds of singles and FOUR rounds of doubles.

Ladies Win!

Despite the dreary conditions, the Women's Tennis team was able vanquish the Rams of Cornell by an 8-1 count. The Cornell lineup was full of young and talented players. The Rams will be a factor in IIAC in the years to come.

Coe will be the top seed next Saturday in the Conference Tournament.

Rain plan in effect!

Thursday

Well, the guys took off for Minnesota & their ITA. Coach Murphy will be posting as he learns results. Being at five indoor sites will make his job difficult!

Cedar Rapids was very wet today with rain and tomorrow looks to be more of the same. The Women's team journeys to Cornell College to take on the Rams in what promises to be a close match. Coe will be down one starter & the Cornell indoor courts will provide a challenge themselves. Look for a 5-4 result one way or another.

Oh, and I somehow ended up stringing 10 racquets today. Too many!

Getting ready to leave for Men's ITA today. The weather looks poor and may cause lots of trouble on the largest ITA draw in history. GO KOHAWKS!
