1982 Miracle Yearbook

MEN'S TENNIS TEAM DOMINATES THE MID-OHIO CONFERENCE FOR 17th CONSECUTIVE YEAR If any team has ever established a dyn- asty, it would have to be the Cedarville College tennis team. The 1982 men's tennis team participated in the NAIA National Tournament in Kansas City this year for the 16th time in 17 years. For the past 17 years the tennis teams from Cedarville have dominated the Mid-Ohio Conference and District 22 competition. Much of their success has been due to head coach, Dr. J. Murray Murdoch. Evidence of this is seen in the fact that Murdoch has been both the MOC and the NAIA Coach of the Year for fourteen years. This years team was no exception as they walked away with almost every award possible. The All MOC 1982 team was made up of nine men, eight of which were from Cedarville's varsity team (pictured below). The eight men were: standing — Jeff Reynolds, Shawn Huck, Ron Rost, Gary Coiro, and Mark James; seated — Dan De- Lancey, Coach Murdoch, and Donnie Rawlins. (Randy Wilson, missing) De- spite the fact that three seniors from last years team were gone, the 1982 team was once again the District 22 champs. Coach Murdoch has not seen a loss in an MOC match since April 17, 1967. STUDENT PLACES IN NATIONAL FORENSICS TOURNAMENT Jill Southward, junior speech major, made it to the quarter-finals at the Na- tional Forensics Tournament at Ohio State University.
