Well, the women had their closest match of the year with a 4-3 loss to Troy today. Otherwise, it's been tough sledding for both the men's and women's teams. Winless in non-conference action so far.

This maybe an unpopular opinion, but UNA needs to discontinue both tennis teams.

I agree, but what would we replace it with? Men's Soccer and Women's Field Hockey I think men’s soccer would be great! No field hockey schools in the south. Well, one. App State. Out of 79 schools. Women’s lacrosse would be a good add. Four other conference schools and two affiliates play in the ASUN. But, this would add significantly to the budget. Right now, each tennis team has less than 10 players. An average D1 men’s soccer team has a roster of 30.

Neither team made the ASUN tournament this season.
During the transition (three seasons total since 2020 was canceled), both men's and women's tennis teams have only 4 conference wins. The women are 4-18 and the men are 4-17 in ASUN play in those three seasons.
Both teams have identical wins with one over NJIT (no longer in the conference) back in 2019 and three over transitioning Bellarmine in the past two seasons.

Coach Bishop at least had a good reason why he struggled. He is battling cancer and has been for last couple of years. Bless him for hanging in there to get his Alison’s through the transition. He will still be employed at North Alabama. I am excited for the next tennis coach. Area tennis in high school is really growing. Florence and Muscle Shoals have great programs. Wilson has a tennis program, Brooks, and Deshler. I think I heard Central has one or is it looking into it. Could be a fertile recruiting area for UNA. I know the #1 ranked ladies player in the state from Auburn is high on North Alabama. I watched her in tournament, girl is awesome. Hope we land her.
