The Presbyterian College women's tennis team faced a setback at home, losing 6-1 to Charleston Southern in a Big South matchup on March 25. Despite starting strong by capturing the doubles point, the team struggled in singles play, with the Buccaneers winning all six matches. Grace Katzman and Mary Ellen Longmire stood out in doubles, improving their record to 8-2, but it wasn't enough to secure victory. The Blue Hose will look to rebound in their upcoming match against Longwood.

By the Numbers
  • Presbyterian College's women's tennis team is now 6-11 overall and 1-1 in Big South play.
  • Grace Katzman and Mary Ellen Longmire improved their doubles record to 8-2 this season.
Yes, But

Although the Blue Hose secured an early lead by winning the doubles point, their inability to convert that momentum into singles victories raises questions about their competitiveness against stronger opponents.

State of Play
  • Charleston Southern won all six singles matches convincingly after losing the doubles point.
  • The Blue Hose struggled in singles, with no matches going to a decisive third set.
What's Next

Presbyterian College will host Longwood on April 2, an opportunity for the team to regroup and look for improvement in their performance.

Bottom Line

The Blue Hose need to translate early leads into match victories to be competitive in future contests, particularly on their home court.
