Women’s Tennis Team Opens Spring Season With 5-4 Win To Give Dees First Collegiate Win

The Eagles (1-2) suffered a 8-1 setback against Howard Payne University later that night. Against Sul Ross State, Ozarks won at No. 2 and No. 3 doubles.

"It was a great trip," said Dees. "It was just what we needed to get our season started. We played some really tough competition. There were a couple matches where we didn't play our best, but for early in the season, I saw great tennis from everyone this weekend. I am proud of the team. We are happy with where we are and the direction we're going."
