News fresh from the A-Train on the road...

LU Ladies tennis upsets Coastal Carolina on the road!

WTG Ladies!

[thesportscritic]

nice win for women's tennis.

[BJWilliams]

Very nice after having to finish the CSU match this morning. Big ups to ladies tennis

[PAmedic]

congrats to the ladies- time for the guys to get off the schnide before this becomes yet another losing season

GO FLAMES!

[ATrain]

One of the better players for the guys is currently out with an injury. This season, however, should be better than last season but it will be tougher with the injured player.

[ATrain]

Oh yeah, the score against Coastal was 4-3 in our favor.

[ATrain]

Liberty women defeat NC A&T 7-0 to even record at 3-3.

[ATrain]

Women's tennis now has winning record at 4-3 after defeating Longwood 6-1 yesterday. Last season, Longwood defeated Liberty 6-1, so this was a nice win to pick up. Also, ECU just got ranked 63rd in the nation, and it was a close match against them...but with a team full of freshmen, things happen unfortunately.

Men lost at Longwood 6-1 yesterday. INJURIES SUCK!!!

[matshark]

Saturday should be a BIG day. GO LADIES GO!

[matshark]

Ladies win vs. UNC-W 4-3!

[PAmedic]

Ladies now 6-3 after the win down in FLA yesterday! Great improvement this year

[PAmedic]

Men finally get another win, albeit over a D II team- "raising" their record to 2-6.

ugh. Hang in there, guys!

Flames Post Solid Win in Florida

March 17, 2008
Port St. Lucie, Fla.

After a narrow loss to UNC Wilmington just two days before, the Flames played their first match of their Spring Break tournament in Port St. Lucie, Fla., against the Palm Beach Atlantic Sailfish, Monday. Although the Sailfish came into the contest ranked No. 35 in Division II, Liberty managed to solidly win its first match of the week, 4-3.

[matshark]

Atrain has informed me that out of 18 matches today, the ladies lost a total of 4 GAMES. Don't forget, singles is 2 of 3 to 6 so 6-0, 6-0 is a match.

18 Matches, only dropped 4 games. thats unbeLIEVEable!

Dropped 2 games in the win over their first opponent. (7 matches total)

That leaves 11 more matches and only 2 more dropped games. (A game is basically to 4 points - 15,30,40, game)
Thats a rediculous amount of consistency on the ladies' part, not to mention a thorough drubbing of the competition. the only way to do that is to have very few errors, unforced or otherwise. VERY VERY impressive!

[ATrain]

Women beat JMU 6-1 (only loss was at #2 in 3 sets)
Men fall 5-2 to the Dukes

[ATrain]

Lady Flames post their ninth straight win by beating Radford 6-1.

[ATrain]

Women down High Point 5-2 for 10th straight win...men fall 0-7

[LUconn]

Atrain, what's the deal with our Men's team. It appears that they suck.

[ATrain]

One word: INJURIES

[ATrain]

Women defeat UNCA 6-1, Men defeat UNCA 5-2. Good day for Liberty tennis.
