After playing nine contests away from Lynchburg, the Liberty men's tennis team will look to continue its six match win streak at home, Sunday, when they welcome Gardner-Webb for a Big South tilt. The contest will take place at Liberty's Hershey Tennis Courts, serving as the team's first outdoor home game of 2012....

Liberty will seek its first conference win of 2012 as they host Gardner-Webb. The Runnin' Bulldogs are 4-8, but have the chance to improve their record on Saturday when they face Charlotte. Gardner-Webb is also 0-1 in conference action, falling to Radford, 7-0, in late February.
This should be a good contest!

From the match recap...
Several plateaus were reached for the Liberty men's tennis team, Sunday afternoon, as the squad took down Gardner-Webb, 5-2, at the Hershey Tennis Courts.

The victory is the Flames' seventh straight win, improving its overall record to 10-3 for the season. With its 10th win of the year, Liberty has won double-digit matches each of the last four years, which is a program best. The win also marked the team's first Big South win of 2012, improving to 1-1 in league play.
This really was a great win!
