Written By Melanie Cheatham, B-CU Sports Information Office, Student Intern

Sumter, SC- Over Spring Break (March 1-7), the BCU tennis teams traveled to Sumter, South Carolina in hopes of sweeping the tournament  and beating all MEAC foes. The men's team was 3-1 losing only to the Pirates of Hampton University with a final match score of 4-3.  However, that loss did not drop the spirits of the Wildcats.

BCU men's team defeated Norfolk State University 5-2, Winston- Salem State 6-1, and University of Maryland Eastern Shore, 7-0. The lady Wildcat tennis team also handled business at the MEAC roundup, with the ladies going an undefeated 5-0 in the tournament. The lady Wildcats were victorious over North Carolina A & T, Norfolk State University, Winston-Salem State University, Savannah State University and Hampton University.  The B-CU tennis teams are cruising their way to the championships in April. However, they are still working hard and staying focused all in efforts to become the MEAC champions.
