the lines are still good

Follow the happenings of an animated college tennis coach and his teams in their pursuit of an NCAA National Tennis Championship. It is always the impressive trophy that is displayed for all to admire that gets the attention, but it is the journey to claiming that trophy, the relationships built, the people served and the memories created, that live forever...and what I hope you will find interesting...

We take offense...


Those in attendance today at the MTC were treated to another CACC win over Chestnut Hill College 9-0 (click here for box score).

The Clipper staff was a little edgy today for a variety of reasons and asked the players to make a bit of a statement. Often times it is difficult for the players to get mentally excited to play matches against inferior opponents (oops, my bad, sorry if I have hurt feelings by printing that). However the team meant business today and made quick work of the Hill.


Concordia started quickly in all three doubles matches and cruised to a 3-0 start allowing just a total of three games in the three pro sets. Games we tough to come by for our opponents today as the singles lineup decided that they wanted to get to Chalana's Brazilian Buffet for some tasty BBQ. All six courts won in straight sets to end the affair in shutout fashion.

Andreas Lindell continued to play the good tennis and is having a nice start to his college tennis career. I look forward to seeing his improvement as his game matures as he should have a bright future here. He is making a habit of being the first player off the court with a win.

It was nice to see so many supporters out at the courts today including former Clippers Henning Ruenz, Vlad Malkin, Kela and Teza Simunyola, and well of course, me.

We will travel to Philadelphia Tuesday to play the University of the Sciences. Match time is scheduled for 3pm.

  1. We sure are all glad YOU were at the courts today! Wished I had realized that the secret to successful coaching was to set "Chalana's Brazilian Buffet for some tasty BBQ" as THE GOAL! You are truly the Sage of Tennis Coaches! Congratulations to the boys! Keep Going!

  2. The players do all of the work. It's what they do that determines our success.
