COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Capital University tennis team hosted Sweet Briar College from Virginia this afternoon, falling 9-0 to the Vixens.
The Comets scheduled this match as a make-up for the cancellation of two matches this past weekend. Capital now holds a 6-3 overall record this season.

In doubles action,
Anna Fletcher and
Nicole Flock dropped the #1 spot by an 8-1 score.
Abigail Hornacek and
Kylee Fliter fell 8-2 at second doubles and
Amy Wright-Lovell and
Jenny Rollins fell by an 8-2 score at third doubles.
