The twins enrolled at the University of Cumberlands in Williamsburg, Kentucky in August and are reading for Biology degrees en route to their career goals in Sports Medicine.

Denee and Luka are the newest members of the Patriots women’s tennis team, which is ranked third in the Mid South Conference of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics.

The Lyttles join close to a dozen local tennis players who have benefited in the last six years from US university athletic scholarships to pursue careers in Accounting, Economics, Finance, Marketing, Management Information Systems, Business Administration and Medicine.

Denee and Luka were recruited by Patriots assistant coach, Vincentian Daryl MacLeish, who played on the men’s team and received a fellowship to read for a Master’s degree in Teaching Business Administration.
