Turner was named the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Coach of the Year for the second time in four seasons. Turner, a CAU alumna who was a captain and All-Conference for the Lady Panthers tennis team team during her playing days, led a Clark Atlanta tennis team that los their first five games this season after being ravaged by injuries. But Turner led her Lady Panthers to a big turnaround in which they earned an11-5 record in SIAC play and finished fourth in the conference. Â
Ramdyhan, a graduate student from Georgetown, Guyana, and Henry, a junior from St. John's, Antigua combined to form one of the toughest doubles duos in the SIAC this season.
