Young UW-Oshkosh Tennis Squad Gets Season Underway Saturday
OSHKOSH, Wis.–The UW-Oshkosh women's tennis team will feature four freshmen and four sophomores among its nine-player roster this season under new head coach Steve Francour.
Francour, the head coach at UW-Oshkosh from 1990-2013, is back with the Titans after helming the Lawrence University women's tennis program the previous nine seasons. Francour led UW-Oshkosh to three consecutive runner-up finishes in the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference between 1995-96 and 1997-98.
Despite a youthful roster, UW-Oshkosh returns five of its six singles players from a year ago as the Titans seek to win their first conference dual match since the 2019-20 campaign. Sophomore Alyssa Pattee is the Titans' top returner after compiling a 6-6 record at No. 2 Singles last season.
UW-Oshkosh opens the season at the UW-Whitewater Warhawk Invitational on Sept. 3 before conducting the home opener with a dual match against Lawrence on Sept. 6 on the Kolf Sports Center Outdoor Courts. The Titans later commence WIAC play with a home contest versus UW-Whitewater on Sept. 28.
