SIUE

In his two seasons as a Cougar, Johan Sjogren was a part of two national championship teams and earned four All-American certificates. The 1983 and 1984 teams became the No. 6 and No. 7 national championships for the men's tennis program. Sjogren, of Gothenburg, Sweden, joined a program loaded with talent. Sjogren made the lineup as a freshman in the 1982-1983 season and flourished, advancing to the national semifinals in singles and doubles. As a sophomore during the 1983-1984 season, Sjogren's role on the team grew. Once again, he advanced to the semifinals of the NCAA Division II individual championships in 1984. He then teamed with Dave Delsini to win the national doubles crown. It was the eighth consecutive year that SIUE had won either a national singles or doubles crown.
