ORLANDO, Fla. – With five singles matches going the distance Thursday afternoon, the Memphis women's tennis team finished strong and fended off Penn State for a 6-1 neutral-site win against the Nittany Lions.
The Tigers won the opening doubles point on courts 1 and 3 to take an early 1-0 advantage. Despite dropping the opening set on three courts in singles play, the Tigers fought back for five wins to set the 6-1 final.
"What a great fight from this team today. We took care of business in doubles and, emotionally, that was a big help," head coach Hayden Perez said.
