Seminole State College (Oklahoma) Team Page
The Seminole State College Lady Trojans finished up the 2008 NJCAA National Championships today in 11th place. SSC finished the tournament with 27 points, only 1/2 point behind Meridian CC who Seminole State beat earlier in the year in a dual match. Hillsborough CC from Tampa, Florida won the overall National Championship with 45 points, followed closely by Tyler JC (44 points), Lee College (43 points), ABAC (42 points), Collin CC (39.5 points), NCTC (38 points), Laredo CC (37 points), Florida CC Jacksonville (31 points), and Barton CC (29 points).
SSC Freshman Cassandra Kleber was the final girl to finish the tourney, winning todays Flight #2 Consolation championship over Univ. of Arkansas Ft. Smith's Aurelie Meyer. Kleber was down 7-2 in the pro set, and fought back to win in a tiebreaker.
This year's tourney featured 36 teams, more teams than any other previous year in the Division 1 Championships. With 63 total teams sponsoring NJCAA Division 1 women's tennis, the Lady Trojans finish of #11 was a great suprise for the recently restarted program.
Congrats to Cassandra Kleber, Sara Anic, Morgan Whitmire, Brooke Williams, Katie Arnold, Nilsa Ramirez, and Daniela Stevenson on an exceptional year!!
