ORLANDO FLA. – Women's tennis opened their action-packed week in Florida yesterday with a matchup against Hillsborough Community College. It was an eventful match for the Knights, who lost all three doubles matches and were behind 3-0 before having an epic comeback and winning the match 4-3. All four of the single match winners were behind in sets before rallying and taking the matches in super tiebreakers.
Both men and women return to action today (03/11) in an afternoon matchup against Hampton. This will be the second of four matches in Florida as the Knights look to tune up before finishing the conference tour.
