Women’s tennis looks to start season with win on Friday

The East Carolina University women’s tennis team will kick off its 2019 spring season on Friday against North Carolina State University.

The team is coming off an impressive 2017-2018 season in which it went 17-9, with a 3-5 record in conference. They did not lose a game at home, winning all seven of their games, but struggled on the road, where they went 5-7. The Pirates won five games and lost two during their neutral games. Their season high winning streak was five wins, from April 5 against Elon University until April 14 against University of Cincinnati.

The 17-9 record is tied for the fifth-most wins in a season in program history and they have also won 17 matches in two of their last three years.
