Stillwater, Okla. – The Central Arkansas tennis team kicked off its 2020 season with a doubleheader on Sunday afternoon as the Bears (1-1) defeated the Oral Roberts Golden Eagles 5-2 and later fell to the No. 11 Oklahoma State Cowgirls 4-0 at the Greenwood Tennis Center.
HEAD COACH CASEY WHARTON ON THE AFTERNOON
"I like competition. Even when it's the first week of school and we haven't had many team practices, I still want to compete because it creates an opportunity for us to feel things and then deal with those feelings. I thought we didn't play our best but got better as the day went on.
We played ORU first and didn't play very well in doubles, but Xin and Fuka clinched it to give us the doubles point. Singles was a slow start, but we managed to close it out and grab a good win. We had a short rest because of how long our first match lasted, so we went into the OK State match a little more tired than I would have liked. We played very well in doubles and were making good decisions that led to a lot of chances. We didn't win, but it felt like we were in a position to succeed.
I'm really proud of their effort and attitude today. We're excited to see what this season is going to hold."
