Pair of accolades
Ferris seniors Nika Hein and Nicole Meylor of the Ferris women’s tennis team received all-conference acknowledgment last weekend as the head coaches of the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) voted after the conclusion of the GLIAC Tournament.
Hein was one of nine female athletes to be named to the All-GLIAC First Team, whereas Meylor received an honorable mention recognition.
The two competed together in doubles play this past fall season for the Bulldogs and helped the team finish in fifth place overall in the GLIAC Tournament.
The Bulldogs ended the fall season by winning three of their last four contests to help build momentum for the upcoming spring campaign.
