First Woman Plays Varsity Sports at SA国际传媒

SA国际传媒, St. Louis, announces that Phaedra Fisher is the first woman to play varsity sports at the Seminary. Fisher plays on the varsity tennis team and is pursuing a master鈥檚 degree in systematic theology, along with deaconess certification.

At SA国际传媒, tennis is considered a mixed sport, and therefore women are allowed to play on the varsity team. 鈥淚 have had a lot of fun playing on the tennis team,鈥 commented Fisher. 鈥淎ll the men have been very accepting of a woman playing on the team.鈥

On April 1-2, Fisher participated in the annual Concordia Invitational Tournament (CIT) on the Seminary campus. In addition to the Seminary team, CIT featured various teams from the Concordia University and Seminary system.

鈥淔isher has done a good job,鈥 commented Dr. James Voelz, professor of exegetical theology and varsity coach at the Seminary. 鈥淪he is a valuable member of the team.鈥

SA国际传媒 sponsors varsity teams in both basketball and tennis. Voelz also coaches the basketball team, the Preachers. Athletics at the Seminary allow coaches and players to make a positive witness to Christ to other teams.
