The Richmond women's tennis team bounced back with a convincing 6-1 victory over Charlotte Tuesday evening in Charleston, S.C.
The Spiders, who were tagged with some injures, outlasted Charlotte in an almost five-hour long match.
"The score does not indicate the closeness of the match," said head coach Mark Wesselink. Almost every player on the court had some injury to play through today."
Richmond nearly swept singles, getting wins at positions 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6. The Spiders picked up two additional wins at doubles with Kelly Tidwell/Isabel Arana and Joanna/Sydney Grant recording 8-3 and 8-6 victories, respectively.
