Coach Dixon Named River States Conference Women's Tennis Coach of the Year
Coach Dixon, in his fifth season as Head Coach of the Oakland City University tennis programs, was named Women's Tennis River States Conference Coach of the Year.
The women's tennis team improved from their 5-9 season in 2021 to a 12-9 record in 2022. The Lady Oaks finished second in regular season conference play and lost a very close conference tournament final.
The Lady Oaks qualified for the NCCAA National Tournament for the first time in school history.
For the first four weeks in the season, the Lady Oaks were also receiving votes at the NAIA National Level, another first for the university program.
Under the tutelage of Coach Dixon, the Lady Oaks have increased their wins by nearly double each year.
"I am very proud of these women and the continuous effort that they put in daily," stated Dixon.
"This award is not an award for me, but for them.
If they didn't get out and work as hard as they do, this award would have gone to a different coach.
I am very thankful for the effort and sacrifice that they put in."
