SPARTANBURG, S.C. – In a match that was much closer than the final score would indicate, the Wofford women's tennis team was defeated 6-1 by East Tennessee State University at the Reeves Tennis Center.

At #2 doubles, Breda Brennan and Emma Sorensen had a 4-1 lead but the Bucs rallied for a 7-5 win to tie the point. At #1 doubles, neither team had a lead of more than one game. Wofford's Georgia Fischer and Lily Woods had a 6-5 advantage, but the Bucs tied it at 6-6 to send it to a tiebreaker. In the extra frame, the Bucs won 9-7 to win the match and earn the doubles point.
 
In singles, the Bucs picked up straight set wins at #1, #5 and #6 to clinch the match. The other three contests each went to three sets. At #2 singles, Breda Brennan won the first set 6-2 before dropping the second set. In the third set tiebreaker, Brennan earned a 10-3 win.
