DURHAM, N.C. – The Wofford women's tennis team opened the spring season on the right foot, as the Terriers swept N.C. Central, 7-0, on Friday afternoon at the Dr. Younge Tennis Courts. Freshmen Lilie Steryous, Alexandra Hildell, and Lauren Joch picked up their first career singles victories as Terriers, while the doubles pair of Kay Kluska and Steryous earned their first doubles victory.
