Pre-season Bible studies and late-night practices at Dayton Indoor Tennis Club helped to prepare us both spiritually and physically for our best season record of8- 2. We made our way through an unusually cold and wet season with high hopes of winning the NAIA District 22 tournament. God saw fit, however, to allow us to learn through a tie-breaker loss to Walsh Col- lege. This was a disappointing end to a tremendous season. If I had to describe this year's team in one word, it would be "unity." There was a unity of spirit as we lovingly encouraged each other even after losing a tough match and a unity of pur- pose as we sought to glorify God through tennis. I have watched the team through tremendous wins and disappointing losses over the past four years as manag- er. I have also watched Dr. Diehl and her philosophy of the sport. Winning is her desire for the team, but it is not her goal. Her goal, rather, is that we glorify God with the talents and abilities He has given us. -- Cathy Anderson, manager Class of '89 Sports 163
