1989 Miracle Yearbook

The men's tennis team finished the most exciting, most rewarding, and most successful season in the history of Cedar- ville tennis this year! For the 19th time in the past 21 years, Cedarville earned the NAIA distirct championship--but they didn't stop there. They made the trip to Kansas City for the NAIA Nationals and finished better than any other Cedarville team has in the past. They placed 8th in the nation, and each varsity level team member including Jeff Kohl, Steve Lesko, Dino Tsibouris, Bruce Taranger, P. J. Kitchen, and Steve Brumbaugh received all-district honors. Also receiving honors was Coach Murdoch who, for the 19th time, was named "Coach of the Year." Junior Dino Tsibouris says of this season, "Our 88-89 season was where we saw the fruit of two years of personal growth. The team attitude was always competi- tive, but this year we emphasized encour- aging each other to perform our best. We took opportunities to witness to other players, to encourage each other, and to study the Word with each other. This not only brought our best season as a team but also was our most enjoyable." Steve Lesko makes a skillful return. CEO OPP CED OPP 9 0 Franklin 9 0 Defiance 7 1 IUPUI 6 0 U. of Dayton 9 0 Huntington 8 1 Asbury 8 1 Thomas More 9 0 Otterbein 9 0 Butler Univ 3 6 E.
