WILLIAMSPORT, PA – The Alfred University women's tennis team returned to action for their first competitive match of the spring season, coming up short in a 6-3 loss to Lycoming College on Friday afternoon from Brandon Park.

"Today was a lot of fun to have both teams competing together again," Head Coach Jordan Crouch said. "It was great to get the women back together and play a match. We battled through some elements and came out with a competitive result against a strong team. I can't wait for our next one against Oswego in a few weeks."
