Wilson, NC, February 28, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Mississippi College and Lindenwood University, two leading collegiate table tennis teams, will be present in full force at the 2015 Butterfly Arnold Table Tennis Challenge.

Mississippi College (Clinton, MS) will bring their top players including 2014 National Collegiate Singles Champion Cheng Li (2578) and his highly skilled team mates Yi Chi Zhang (2546) and new comer Tong Zhang (~2600).
