MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The West Virginia University tennis team collected four total wins on day two of the William Mary Hall of Fame Classic on Saturday evening at the Millie West Tennis Center in Williamsburg, Virginia.
"We had another good day of competition for us," WVU coach Miha Lisac said. "We were tested today and had some very good performances that we can build from going into tomorrow."
Doubles Recap
WVU split two doubles matches against host William & Mary to open day two. In the first match, juniors Anne-Sophie Courteau and Giovanna Caputo defeated Mila Saric and Natalia Perry, 8-5, but sophomore Anastasiia Bovolskaia and freshman Kat Lyman fell to Vitoria Okuyama and Charlotte Madson, 5-8, as the Mountaineers headed to singles play.
