BGSU Women’s Tennis History (11:30 Class)

Hello everyone and welcome to our blog about the women’s tennis team here at BGSU. The three of us decided to explore and research the history of the women’s tennis team because it is a sport none of us have had much experience with and we wanted to try something new. We were able to interview the current head coach Penny Dean, current player and captain Christine Chiricosta, and former player Deidre Weekley as part of our research.

One of our biggest problems in doing this research was finding people available during the fall season to interview because everyone is very busy at this time of year. We were somewhat limited with time in the end to complete this process but we feel that the interviews went very well and gained an extensive amount of knowledge about the team. The other primary issue was that we had trouble finding when exactly the BGSU women’s tennis team started because there is a discrepancy between the media guide and other sources.

Our project will include the history of BGSU women’s tennis beginning in 1967 through the present time. We will also focus a great amount on the recent years of BGSU women’s tennis as there have been several records broken during this time period.

Members of this group include: Nick Juskewycz, Nick Edwards, and Brad Potts
