Spring 2009 Results

The LSC-CyFair tennis team ended up with a winning record at nationals.  LSC-CyFair was the only community college team participating out of the 64 teams from around the United States and Puerto Rico.  The team started out in pool play with 3 other teams.  Our pool consisted of University of California-Berkley (2008 Finalist), University of Central Florida (2009 3rd Place) and Drexel University.  We lost to UC-Berkley but we won 3 of the 5 matches.  UC-Berkley ended up with the win because of a higher overall game score.  We lost a tough match to the University of Central Florida and ended up beating Drexel University.

This put us in the Bronze Division because we ended up 1-2 in pool play.  We won our first round match against Loyola University and lost a very close match in the second round to Central Washington University.  The match came down to a sudden death point in the super tiebreaker.   After that we beat St. Louis University and finished it off with an impressive win over Auburn University.

Our overall record was 4-3 and this was an awesome accomplishment because this was our first time at nationals and we were the only community college present. 

Billie Jean King and Katrina Adams were also in attendance at various matches and the awards banquet.  Additional pictures of the team are on the USTA and Tennis on Campus Website.  There was a player feature article on Andra Yanchenko.  The link is http://www.tennisoncampus.com/News/SecondServeAtLife.htm
