Carbondale, Ill.- Juniors Amanda Taillefer and Ame Blacketer have been named Co-Captains for the 2006-07 women's tennis season.
Taillefer is the only returning player from last year's team.
Blacketer transfered to SIU from Tyler Junior College where she earned All-American singles and doubles honors as a freshman and placed 4th in doubles at individual nationals in her sophomore year.
Head coach Rene Vidal believes that the team made a good choice in naming Taillefer and Blacketer Co-Captains.

We are lucky to have them."
