SIU men’s tennis coach Dann Nelson draws a diagram for his players Sept. 17, 2013 during practice at University Courts. Nelson has high expectations for his team this season. “Our goal is to win the conference because it’s a reward for all the hard work and the chance to compete in a national tournament,” Nelson said. The team will play three matches in the Middle Tennessee State University Dale Short Shootout this weekend in Murfreesboro, Tenn.
