CLINTON, Mississippi-The Christian Brothers University women's tennis team was defeated by GSC opponent #23 Mississippi College Alabama 8-1 on Saturday.

HOW IT HAPPENED:
After dropping matches at the No.2 and No.3 slots, the Lady Bucs sought to avoid the sweep by winning their final doubles matchup.
