UWM Tennis Finishes Spring-Break Trip with a Trio of Wins

Panthers improve to a 3-4 dual-match team record.

March 23, 2000

MILWAUKEE - The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee women's tennis team earned a trio of dual-meet wins this week in Arizona during its first outing of the spring season. The Panthers defeated Montana State-Billings, 6-3, Mills College, 8-1, and Hamline, 6-3. The team's sole loss came at the hands of the University of Connecticut, which defeated the Panthers, 9-0, in their first match of the trip. The Panthers' overall dual-meet record improved to 3-4 overall.

The Panthers used their entire bench throughout the four-match series, giving some of the younger Panthers some much-needed experience while earning the team's first wins of the year. The Panthers return to action on Friday, March 31, when they play host to Illinois-Chicago at Lake Park. The match is scheduled to begin at 3 p.m.
