Head Coach: Kendell Hale Assistant Coach: Dante Cipulli Assistant Coach: Roberto Quintanilla FRESHMEN LEADING THE WAY After coming on strong during the fall season, freshman Laura Bouet, Eva Dalvai, and Suzan Lisenby are being heavily relied on in their inaugural season with the Roos. Overall, the trio has combined for 11 of the team s 14 singles wins and three of the four singles wins this spring. Bouet leads the way for the freshman as the Gap, France native has scored a team-high five wins in the 2009-10 season. The trio is also relatively strong in doubles action, as two of the team s three wins have included one of the first year players. ROOS PICKED FIFTH IN SUMMIT LEAGUE PRESEASON POLL The UMKC women s tennis program has been picked to finish fifth in The Summit League Preseason Poll in a vote of the league s nine head coaches. The Roos received 42 points, which was just three points out of third place. After finishing fifth in The Summit League in 2009, the squad will look to its four returning letterwinners and three promising freshmen to improve on that position. WICHITA ROOS The Wichita, Kan., pipeline continued for the UMKC women s tennis team, as the squad added a third member to the program from Wichita. Jessica Ball and Jillian Yakominich return for their sophomore seasons in Blue and Gold, while a third player - Suzan Lisenby - joins the team after being a four-time state tournament qualifier at Wichita Southeast High School. FRENCH CONNECTION UMKC will welcome in three freshmen to the mix this season, including two international players from France in Laura Bouet and Eva Dalvai. Bouet comes to Kansas City from Gap, France, while Dalvai hails from Strasbourg, France. In their first collegiate event, the duo combined for three of the squad s six wins.
