Coach Connie Keasling of Murray State women's tennis will be inducted into the MSU Hall of Fame in November as just the second women's tennis coach to be so honored. On today's program, Coach Keasling talks about her 22 seasons in leading the program that produced five OVC championships and five more times of runner-up finishes. Her career was the fourth-longest tenure in MSU history when she retired in 2011. Keasling's teams also performed at a high level off the court as evidenced by 42 OVC Commissioner's Honor Roll winners and five OVC Medal of Honor winners. Her teams earned four OVC Team Sportsmanship Awards and the ITA National Team Sportsmanship honor in 2007. Also on the program today, we say a big happy birthday to former Racer Football Coach Joe Pannunzio, born on the fourth of July and Racer men's basketball senior Anthony Smith gets official notice for a fifth season after injury sidelined him in the 2918-19 season.
