FALLTENNIS A Man on the Women ' s Team Amidst the controversy surround- ing the addition of a male player, the Women ' s Tennis Team compiled an Impressive 9-4 record. The subject of much speculation was the team s number two singles player. Keith Jones. Coach Virginia Overdorf and the squad welcomed Keith, but his presence caused FDU-Rutherford to bow out of a scheduled contest. Dur- ing a match with Rutgers. Keith was again forced to sit out. The team opened their second fall season by smashing their first four opponents. In the Jersey City con- test, Jones won his first varsity match as the team swept all six events. The Pioneers fell victim to Rutgers University with only first singles player Kris Sandbo victorious. Earlier in the season, Kris was the only WPC player who qualified for the semifi- nals at the State Tournament held at Rutgers. In which she was ranked fourth. Finishing out their season in style, the team won five of their next six and posted their second sweep of the season, courtesy of Kean College.
