WISE – History was made on the Jim & Betty Humphreys Tennis Courts Tuesday afternoon as the Highland Cavalier women's tennis team downed Tusculum 4-2. It marks the first time in the program's NCAA era that UVA Wise has defeated the Pioneers.
Prior to today the last time the Cavs won it was a 7-2 win by Clinch Valley College over Tusculum College on April 11, 1998. That team went on to go undefeated in the Tennessee-Virginia Athletic Conference and went to the NAIA Tournament.
This year's team will host #19 Wingate Friday afternoon at 1 p.m. on the Humphreys Courts.
