This will be the first time the soccer and cross country events will be held on the UT Tyler campus. The tournaments are scheduled for fall 2003. “I am excited to host a national event of this caliber here at UT Tyler. We are definitely willing and able to manage such an event, and I know all of the players will be excited to have the chance to play for a national title on their own campus,” said Kenny Jones, UT Tyler head men’s soccer coach. The tennis championship tournament will be held in spring 2004. UT Tyler was the site of the 2003 tennis championship tournament in which the UT Tyler Patriots earned both the men’s and women’s titles. “UT Tyler’s membership in the USCAA has been a great addition, and they showed with last year’s inaugural USCAA Tennis Championships that they could handle this type of event,” Commissioner Dave Schmidt said. The
USCAA will start its third season as a national association having
gone from 32 schools to 50 schools last year and more schools looking
to enter. The organization provides the student-athlete a chance
to compete at the national level on a very high standard, according
to Schmidt. Contact person: Emily Battle, (903) 565-5604
