NEWPORT NEWS, Va. – Salisbury University’s men’s tennis squad faced a challenging afternoon on Saturday, falling 6-1 to the nationally-ranked Christopher Newport Captains at Eyre Courts.
The Sea Gulls showed competitive spirit throughout most of their matchups against the 27th-ranked Captains but struggled to convert that effort into victories on the scoreboard.
Saturday’s result represents a tough test for Salisbury against one of the top programs in the region, as Christopher Newport continues to demonstrate why they hold a national ranking.
