The only thing that stops the tennis team from getting more wins is the weather.
The tennis team canceled two matches last week against Northwestern State on Wednesday and Arkansas State on Friday due to severe weather.
“We just practice. We use the day to stay in shape and keep going,” head coach Terrence De Jongh said.
Wednesday’s match was canceled after double’s play ended due to a thunderstorm that swept through Monroe. The team canceled Friday’s match on Thursday morning after the weather indicators showed an 80 percent chance of rain.
De Jongh said, “We probably could have played on Friday, but we couldn’t call them to drive six hours and not be able to play.”
The team competes in a three-match road trip in Arkansas this week.
