Clifford
R. Owen '41
Men's Tennis
Hometown: Upper Darby, PA
High School: Upper Darby
Arguably the best men’s tennis player in West Chester
University history, Cliff Owen dominated opponents for the Golden
Rams for four seasons. His career produced an untouchable 83-3
record as his teams averaged 14 wins per season. During his four
years, the Golden Rams never lost a match to any of its sister
institutions in what is today known as the PSAC.
In fact, Owen’s mark is even more impressive when considering
many of West Chester’s opponents at that time consisted
of today’s Division I schools. In 1941 he was selected
as the captain of the Golden Rams.
A longtime board member and tournament director in the Middle
States Tennis Association, Owen made his mark at the professional
level as well. He claimed 32 sectional and 25 national rankings
during his career, and he served as the prestigious Eastern States
Senior Tournament director for over 20 years.
