Playing four-year schools Newman University and Baker University on Friday in Arkansas City and Cameron University on Saturday, the Cowley College men's and women's tennis teams lost only one match on the weekend.
The Tiger men's tennis team is the defending NJCAA Division I national champion, and the Lady Tigers finished as the 2023 national runner-up. Both teams looked poised to have another big fall and spring season.
"Overall, I am very happy with their performance," Cowley head coach Arianna Raga said.
The Tiger tennis teams will now prepare to host the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Regional Tournament September 29-30 in Arkansas City.
"We will continue to work hard to get ready for our ITA Regional tournament next weekend," Raga said.
