Medaille adds women's tennis to sports program

by Kara Kane on August 26, 2010

Medaille College Athletic Department will add another varsity sport as women’s tennis competes for the first time in fall 2010.  The Lady Mavs have a 10-match schedule with its inaugural match on Thursday, September 2, 2010 at home against AMCC foe Penn State-Behrend.

The Lady Mavs will call the Miller Tennis Center in Williamsville, NY its home for the 2010 season.  They will hit the courts under the tutelage of new head coach Katherine Connelly who brings her wealth of knowledge and local tennis contacts into the Mavericks Athletic Department.

The tennis team will compete in the AMCC, giving the College 11 teams in that conference, and moving Medaille to 15 varsity sports overall.  The addition of the Lady Mavs into the AMCC gives the conference Automatic Qualifier status into the NCAA Tournament.  Therefore, the winner of the AMCC Tournament will receive an automatic bid to the 2010 NCAA Women’s Tennis Tournament.
