MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Led by three singles wins in the tournament finale, the West Virginia University tennis team concluded the Martha Thorn Mountaineer Invitational on Sunday at the Summit Tennis Academy in Morgantown.
"It was a good weekend of competitive situations," said coach Miha Lisac. "Every player has positive things they can take away from the weekend and build upon going into two weekends of work and then a tournament at Louisville."
Singles Recap
