We're Back | Western Illinois tennis begins its championship season with an appearance in the Northern Illinois Invitational Friday (Feb. 4), where it will take on NIU at noon. Weekend action concludes at SIUE Sunday at 9 a.m. 

Live stats for all matches will be available 30 minutes before start time. Links will be posted to the team's schedule page on GoLeathernecks.com. 

Thoughts from Coach Hyden | "I'm excited for the spring. We put a lot of work in over the fall and spring so far and it's going to be good to see the growth of this group! It's an exciting time for Leatherneck Tennis!" 

Summit League Athletes to Watch | Lorena Castellanos represented the Leathernecks on the Summit League's preseason list. She garnered the accolade as an "athlete to watch" after co-leading WIU in single victories a season ago. The sophomore from Recife, Brazil, appeared in 11 matches during the 2021 campaign and earned her first collegiate victory in straight sets against St. Francis (Ill.)

The Squad | The Leathernecks return their singles' leaders in Castellanos and Agatha Carbonell, who each recorded a pair of successes in the 2020-21 season. The two also partnered for victory.

Aina Cortina-Pou and Lucky Kancherla were Western's most successful double with an overall record of 2-5.
