UMS Women’s Tennis Standout Signs With UM

MOBILE, Ala. – University of Mobile women’s tennis coach Uwe Tittl and UMS-Wright Athletic Director Terry Curtis today announced the signing of Bulldogs standout Megan Mohler. Mohler, an All-County selection in 2004, is projected to make an immediate impact on the talented Rams squad.

“We’ve made steady progression to returning to the top of the NAIA,” Uwe Tittl said, “and Mohler is another tremendous step toward realizing that goal.”

After nearly making the city of Mobile-hosted NAIA National Tournament in 2004, the Rams are a win, over cross-town rival Spring Hill College, away from securing an automatic berth into the tournament.

“Thursday’s match against Spring Hill College is obviously massive,” Tittl said. “While I’m confident that the personnel we have now will get the job done, I look forward to having Megan there in those crucial matches.”

Mohler is no stranger to clutch matches as she’s garnered state championships at either the singles or doubles arena the last three years. Additionally, she’s earned distinction with a No. 7 ranking in Alabama 16s.

“I know UMS will miss her but I also know that they’re going to keep an eye on her as she enters the next level here at UM,” Coach Tittle said. “This is a great start to the recruiting season.”
