NOTEBOOK: Tennis Season is back at the Adams Tennis Complex - GoBlueRaiders.com

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — As the freshly fallen snow turns Murfreesboro into a winter wonderland for the third time just this month, and as students make their way back to MTSU's campus for the first day of class tomorrow, the Adams Tennis complex is bursting at the seams with Blue Raiders Tennis action over the coming weeks.
 
Starting today, when the reigning C-USA champion men's tennis team opens their season with matches against Southern Miss and Tennessee State this afternoon, and heading into Friday, when the men's team has a doubleheader with North Alabama and Butler on tap starting at noon, there are plenty of chances for Blue Raider fans to get their tennis fix in the coming days.
 
Meanwhile down in the much warmer area of the Sunshine State, women's tennis split their two matches to open the spring season, falling 6-1 in the team's season opener against Florida Atlantic, but bouncing back to earn a 4-1 victory over Georgia State this morning.
 
Women's tennis' first home match is scheduled for Jan. 28, when they take on East Tennessee State at 2 p.m.

Eusila Chepkemei continued her momentum from a great cross country season, leading all 3000m of her event to post a personal best time of 9:32.56, just under four seconds off of the program record. 
   
Competing as an unattached athlete, Abigail Kwarteng earned first place finishes in both the high jump and the triple jump, including a personal best 12.87m in the triple jump.
   
While Glory Nyenke earned MT's closest win of the weekend with this final kick in the 400m dash for a final time of 55.80
 

Lyn'Nikka Vance set two new personal bests in both the long jump and the 60m, with her 6.04m long jump good enough for first place honors.
 
On the men's side, Omamuyovwi Erhire dominated the triple jump, earning first place honors with a new personal best of 15.69m.
