CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. - The University of Richmond women's tennis squad dropped a 6-1 decision to the University of Virginia Cavaliers on Friday night at the Indoor Tennis Stadium at the Boar's Head Sports Club in Charlottesville, Va. Richmond's Robin Carter recorded her first singles' victory of the season at the No. 4 spot as the Spiders drop to 0-3.
The Cavaliers (1-0) opened the match strong, taking two of three doubles matches to take a 1-0 lead.
