CLEVELAND– The University of Akron women's tennis closed out play at the Viking Invitational with a win and loss on Sunday at the Medical Mutual Tennis Pavilion.
In morning doubles action, the Zips fell to Xavier, 3-0.
In afternoon singles action, Akron beat host Cleveland State, 5-1.
"We played well in singles today," said interim head coach Brian Peters. "The team is doing a great job with implementing new things even if it doesn't mean instant success. It's a lot of fun to see. Early mistakes still cursed us in doubles, but that's what we are going work in this week. Overall, a great fall tournament for player development."
