The Missouri Valley Conference, the nation’s second-oldest NCAA Division I conference, continues to be a leader in college athletics and is one of the nation’s most progressive conferences, celebrating its 109th season in 2015-16. League members have worked together to focus on common goals and objectives, placing a high value on league harmony, while continuing to invest in athletic programs to compete at the highest level.

The Valley brand remains very strong, both regionally and nationally, and the great athletic tradition of The Valley remains a compelling force in recruiting student-athletes and in marketing all the MVC programs.

Wichita State’s women’s tennis team earned the 2015 league title and lost in the NCAA First Round.

League members for women’s tennis include Bradley, Drake, Evansville, Illinois State, Missouri State, Northern Iowa, Southern Illinois and Wichita State.

4 2015-16 Illinois State Women’s Tennis SEASON PREVIEW The Illinois State women’s tennis team will play 12 matches at home in the spring, compared to the four they had last season. This year’s roster features four returning players and four newcomers. Leading the flock is second- year head coach Maja Kovacek. “This is something we are really excited about since it will give our players a chance to play in front of their friends and family and enjoy a great atmosphere,” said Kovacek. Returning to this year’s roster is senior standout Kadi Ilves. Ilves capped off her fall 2015 season with a 4-1 overall singles record and 10-1 doubles record with partner Marcia Tere-Apisah. Also returning is junior Chanel Scudiero, and sophomores Valerija Gercar and Catherine Shulman. The Redbirds have added four new members to the team this season: freshman, Jana Kustkova, sophomore Veronika Golanova, junior Marcia Tere-Apisah and senior Sarah Paulson. The Redbirds start off their spring season with a home match against Southeast Missouri State at the Evergreen Racquet Club in Bloomington, Illinois, on Jan. 29. The team will continue its three-game home stand against Western Illinois (Jan. 31) and Eastern Illinois (Feb. 6). “We have a few tough challenges both physically and mentally in the regular season,” said Kovacek. “We will play a double header against UMKC and Iowa, and our spring break trip will feature four matches in six days. It will be physically and mentally very demanding, and a great opportunity to use the depth we have on the team this year.” The team will open Missouri Valley Conference play April 2 at home against Bradley. The Redbirds will continue their home stand against conference foes Evansville (April 9), Southern Illinois (April 10) and Wichita State (April 15) at the Gregory Street Tennis Courts in Normal, Illinois. ISU will finish its home con- ference stand April 16 against Missouri State. To conclude their 2015/16 season the Redbirds will compete in the Missouri Valley Conference Team Championships hosted by Wichita State, in Wichita, Kansas, April 29-May1.
