Tennis Earns Historic Win at Valparaiso, 7-0

Box Score VALPARAISO, IN – The 2018-19 Bradley Tennis team continues to achieve at new levels. The Braves (12-7, 1-1 MVC) earned their first-ever Missouri Valley Conference road sweep to secure the program's first winning season in 26 years, downing host Valparaiso (2-12, 0-1 MVC), 7-0, Saturday afternoon at the Valpo Tennis Complex.

With only three regular-season matches remaining, the Braves are guaranteed to finish the season with a winning record for the first time since 1992-93 (14-7). The Braves had not blanked a conference opponent away from home since a 9-0 neutral-site win against then-Gateway Conference rival UNI March 7, 1992.
