MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The West Virginia University tennis team concluded its weekend homestand with a 4-3 loss to Delaware, on Sunday, March 6, at the Summit Tennis Academy in Morgantown.
"We came out with more energy in doubles, compared to yesterday," Mountaineers coach Miha Lisac said. "The team on the court today during singles and competed well, but we're not playing with a lot of confidence. Every match from here on out, will be a battle. We have two opportunities next week to dig ourselves out of this rut and get in a better spot, before we head into conference play."
