The Eagles improved to 3-1 on the season and will not have another match before February 1^st when they host UCONN and North Carolina A&T.

The Eagles began the day late after a delay due to wet conditions on the courts. The Blue and White swept a modified match against The Citadel winning all six singles matches. In the second match of the day the Eagles took on Morgan State winning 6-1 and improving to 3-1 on the season.

WHAT HEAD COACH SANDER KONING SAID
"It was a good day of tennis today. We started later than we wanted, but the guys prepared well. Both teams we played showed a lot of energy and were eager to play. We matched their intensity and were able to play a good level of tennis. Murphy and Pascal played really well today in singles and doubles. Both had to get into their first match against The Citadel, but as soon as they did they played the level of tennis we are used to seeing from them. Overall a good team performance."
