Hilton Head, S.C.-- The George Mason women's tennis team concluded their spring break trip to Hilton Head, S.C., Friday by splitting their final two matches of the week.  

"It was a good week to get a lot of match play in," commented Coach Stephen Curtis . "We played some tough teams we don't normally get to play. Now we go back, work on a few things, get healthy and get ready to play next weekend."

In the morning match Mason cruised past the Lady Falcons of Concordia University 6-0 at Chaplin Park. A few hours later Mason fell to the Salukis of Southern Illinois by a 1-6 match score. In the five matches Mason played this week they won 3 and lost 2.

The Patriots move to 14-9 on the season. The team is back in action next week as they open their first outdoor weekend at home.  It is a three day home stand starting against Mt.
