WILMINGTON, DE – The University of the District of Columbia women's tennis team took a 2-1 lead after doubles play, but went on to suffer six straight singles losses as the Firebirds fell, 7-2 to Wilmington University in East Region non-conference action Tuesday afternoon at Delcastle Tennis Center.
