ANNVILLE, Pa. – The Lebanon Valley Women's Tennis team started strong by winning two of the three doubles matches in a hard-fought 6-1 defeat to Stevens Institute of Technology on Saturday inside the Arnold Sports Center in Annville.
The Dutchmen (6-8, 1-1 MAC Freedom) battled tough against the defending conference champion Ducks (5-5, 2-0 MAC Freedom) in a match that was played indoors due to early morning rain and wet courts at the Shankroff Tennis Center. LVC earned the doubled point with wins at number two and number three doubles before Stevens rallied to win all six singles matches.
