r> In the fast lane
regular season, which included
a 16-1 record at one
time, the Vandals faltered
badly in the Big Sky Tournament,
losing their first four
matches and rebounding to
win their next three to finish
in fifth place.
"I don't know what happened,"
said head coach Jim
Sevall. "We just couldn't get
anything going."
Overall, the men finished
the season with a 23-9 record.
In individual competition,
Idaho was led by junior Meng
Kai Fong (23-3), sophomore
Jon Brady (24-5), freshman
Bjorn Morfin ( 19-12), and
junior Mike Daily {17-11).
The women's tennis team,
like the men's, rolled to an impressive
regular season
record. They entered into
post-season play with a 16-2
mark and high expectations.
The women, unlike their
male counterparts, lived up to
their reputation by sweeping
through the NCWSA Division
II Regional Team Championships
for the fourth
straight year. They went on to
place sixth in the AlA W
Division II National Tennis
Championships, much to the
delight of the team members
and the coach.
"We had as our goal a top
10 finish and we about made
the top five," head coach Jim
Seval said. "We couldn't be
happier. It was a total team
effort."
Karin Sobotta ( 11-3), Trish
Smith (22-5), Kristi Pfeiffer
(ll-6), and Sue Chaney {17-
3) led the Vandals in individual
play.
Ending their great season,
the women's tennis team had
compiled a four year dualmatch
record of 71-11, winning
four consecutive
regional championships and
placing 12th, 14th, 15th, and
6th in the national tournament.
Many people figure that the
1982 season could have
marked the end of the
women's domination. Starting
in 1983 the women will be
moving up from Division II to
Division I competition, which
means stronger league competition,
and tougher
national tournaments. It will
be a challange for the
women's teams to maintain
their high standards in the
face of more budget cuts and
stronger opponents.
