Women?s Tennis Splits Final Day in Colorado Springs

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Seattle University women’s tennis dropped a close 4-3 match to Montana State before topping Northern Colorado by the same margin on their final day of weekend competition. As Abilene Christian women’s tennis was not able to make the trip to Colorado due to weather, the Redhawks’ Sunday match has been cancelled.

Seattle U will next host Portland on Friday, Mar. 6 at 11am at the Amy Yee Tennis Center.
