| About Cougar Men's Tennis

|
Azusa Pacific's men's tennis team, ranked as high as No. 7 last year in the NAIA and the 1998 Golden State Athletic Conference champion, figures to do just as well in 1999 with the majority of its roster returning, along with several top newcomers. The Cougars, who finished 16-5 overall, 9-1 in the GSAC last year, have made 2 consecutive trips to the NAIA National Tournament, and with a combination of proven international and collegiate success, aim to repeat in 1999 the wave of success felt last season.
Now in his third season, Cougar Head Coach Mark Bohren has guided Azusa Pacific to a 44-21 record, including a 20-8 mark in GSAC competition during his tenure. In 1997, the Cougars notched a program-best 21 wins, a second-place GSAC finish, and a 14th place performance at the NAIA National Tournament.
Azusa Pacific typically plays a 20-30 match schedule, including 10 conference matches. Playing some of the top programs in the NAIA, Azusa Pacific also opposes several NCAA Div. II and III powers, while competing against NCAA Div. I teams as well. Athletic scholarships help build the typical 9-member roster.
Azusa Pacific plays home matches at the Industry Hills Tennis Resort in the heart of the San Gabriel Valley. The Cougars play with distinct starting times in the afternoon to coincide with the Southern California weather.
