Montclair, VA
--The Mason women's
tennis team had a successful Saturday by defeating Mary Washington
University 5-2 in their morning match, and then defeating St. Francis

"It
was a long but rewarding day in which everyone on the team contributed
to our victories," said Coach Curtis. "I was very pleased with the
team's performance today."
The Patriots opened against
