UND hires full-time women's tennis coach Eds: APNewsNow.

Grand Forks, N.D. (AP) Tom Wynne has been named full-time women's tennis coach at the University of North Dakota after serving in a part-time capacity for the last 11 years.

Wynne led UND to seven straight NCAA Division II regional tournament berths. The Sioux were 14-5 last season.

UND is moving all of its athletic programs to Division I in the fall. UND athletic director Brian Faison says Wynne has the vision to help the tennis program make the jump.

Wynne has a long association with UND tennis as a player and coach and was inducted into the school's athletic hall of fame in 1999. He says he's looking forward to leading the Sioux to the next level.
