WASHINGTON, DC – The University of the District of Columbia women's tennis team was defeated, 9-0 by East Coast Conference perennial powerhouse Queens College in its season home opener Friday afternoon at UDC Tennis Courts.

 

The Firebirds (1-2, 1-2 ECC) were defeated, 8-4 at No. 1 doubles, and 8-3 at No. 2 and 3 doubles, and Queens (4-0, 3-0 ECC) went on to claim all six singles matches as well.
