While the storm put the program on hiatus, Kanga has returned to start the rebuilding efforts with a fresh start as UNO athletic director Jim Miller recently announced the return of the
men's and
women's tennis programs.
The return of the tennis programs were announced with the addition of men's swimming as the university continues to rebuild an athletic department that was left with just six sports post-Katrina. In fall 2008, the number will reach nine, as the department continues to increase sport sponsorship to the mandatory requirements of the NCAA (14) and Sun Belt Conference (15). UNO plans to have all sports in place by fall 2010.
