GOLDEN SUNS TO HOST ITS THIRD-ANNUAL TECH TENNIS SLAM TOURNAMENT THIS WEEKEND

        RUSSELLVILLE, Arkansas – Arkansas Tech Golden Suns Tennis Head Coach Abby Davis has announced that her team will open the fall portion of its schedule this weekend by hosting its third-annual Golden Suns Tennis Slam at the Chartwells Women’s Sports Complex on the Tech campus.

The tournament, which begins on Friday, Sept. 25 and runs through Saturday, Sept. 26, will feature five women’s tennis teams, including Tech. Among the teams expected to send competitors are Ouachita Baptist, Henderson State, Southeastern Oklahoma and the University of the Ozarks.

“This tournament will be a great opportunity once again for us to expose the Russellville community to some outstanding women’s college tennis competition,” Golden Suns Head Coach Abby Davis said. “This tournament should help our team prepare for the season.”

Davis said that the tournament will have four singles flights and two doubles flights. Last season, three of Tech’s singles players advanced to the semifinals in their flights and five Golden Sun players posted winning marks at the tournament.

“We will have some of the best competition from our league,” Davis said. “The fans that come out to watch will see some top-level tennis being played.”
