Unfortunately I will be traveling and won't be able to follow along.
If possible go cheer on the Lady Flames!!!

Lady Flames win 5-2. Dropped the doubles point and Hannah Fick was defeated at number, but the other girls won their singles matches in 3 sets (except Carol Lobel who only needed 2). That just shows the heart that the women's tennis team has. GO LIBERTY!!!

PS-this is also the first win over a ranked team in program history.

Other big piece of news: this is the second straight tough opponent we've defeated without Jordan Jenkins in the singles line-up.

Wow! Sounds like a great match!!! I am really proud of the ladies!!!

"Despite trailing 2-0 during singles play, the Lady Flames roared back to earn four hard-fought, three-set victories, Thursday afternoon, as the squad defeated UNC Greensboro, 5-2, at the Hershey Tennis Courts. While not currently ranked, UNC Greensboro has been No. 70 in the ITA Women's National Team Rankings as recent as March 21."
