Congratulations to the Concordia Girls Tennis Team who are the 2022 ALL-SAC Champions.

Emma Jansing (#2 singles) and Alyssa Linder/Katie Jones (#2 doubles) went undefeated in conference play. The Lady Cadets have also beaten some top schools in the area including Carroll, Dekalb, Canterbury, and Leo.
