BABSON PARK, Fla. (March 1, 2020) – For the first time so far this season, the Webber International University women's tennis team won the doubles point against its opponent as the Warriors hosted Grace College (Ind.) for a women's-only match on Saturday, February 29, on the Webber Campus Tennis Courts.

COACH'S CORNER: "The women played extremely well today and I can see the improvements and work they are putting in," spoke Head Coach Otis Cutshaw.
