Men's Tennis

The Malone men’s tennis program has a very successful history, particularly from the mid 1980’s to the mid 1990’s when the team won numerous conference titles and made several appearances at the NAIA national tournament.  The program has four NAIA All-America honors to its credit and made its fourth trip to the NAIA National Tournament in 2008 after capturing the American Mideast Conference/NAIA Region IX Title.  The squad will look to continue its success in 2010 under the direction of second-year head coach Steve Moroney.
