1983 Miracle Yearbook

SPORTS Men's Tennis The Men's Tennis Team predictably domi- nated the Mid-Ohio Conference. Repetition and predicatability are often equated with bore- dom.The Men's Tennis Team predictably repeated their new powerhouse performance this year, but the team and Cedar- ville fans would vehemently disclaim any boredom. Cedar- ville College again totally dominated the Mid-Ohio Confer- ence,and this season,characterized by the tradition of excel- lence, was highlighted by Coach Murray Murdoch's 300th victory against only 39 losses in his 18 years as the tennis coach. In addition to winning the conference, the Men's Tennis Team also earned their eleventh straight NAIA District 22 title. One of the highlights of the season took place when Cedarville edged out Wright State,a strong contender in the NCAA,by a 5-4 margin.Once again Coach Murdoch took his tradition of excellence on their traditional trip to Kansas City for the NAIA Nationals — a welcome repetition.
