The Concordia University Chicago (CUC) women’s tennis team concluded their fall schedule with a 2-12 overall record and a 2-7 conference record. Despite the challenging season, there were notable performances from both experienced players and newcomers. The team started with non-conference matches, facing North Park University, Carroll University, and North Central College, recording losses in each match. They then hosted Illinois Wesleyan and suffered a 7-2 defeat. The Cougars secured their first win against Marian University, but unfortunately, they experienced losses in their following five matches. Despite these setbacks, there were encouraging moments, such as a close match against the Milwaukee School of Engineering and a strong performance against Alverno College, where they won 9-0. The team, however, ended the season in eighth place in the conference and will not be participating in the upcoming NACC tournament. The CUC women’s tennis program will bid farewell to graduating seniors Jessica Parker, Mackenzie Straulin, Ali Wingood, and Asha Edgerle, who made significant contributions to the team. Looking ahead, the team will rely on returning players such as Kamila Giza, Amelia Engelman, and Tatiana Overton, who displayed promising performances during the 2023 season. The team’s next regular season will commence in the fall of 2024. For more updates on CUC women’s tennis, follow them on Twitter and Instagram at “cuchicagotennis.”
