Franklin Foils Defiance in HCAC Loss

DEFIANCE, Ohio – The Defiance College women's tennis team hosted Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference opponent Franklin College on Saturday morning. The surly September weather forced the match to be played in the George M. Smart Athletic Center. The Jackets lost by a score of 9-0 to the Grizzlies.

Action began with doubles play, as the Jackets were shutout in all three matches. Singles play did not go any better for the Purple and Gold, as the DC failed to claim a set in any of the six matches. The loss drops Defiance's overall record to 0-8 and conference record to 0-4 on the season.

The Purple and Gold will be back on the courts on Wednesday, September 26, as the team travels to Anderson to take on the Ravens in another HCAC matchup. The match is scheduled to begin at 4:00 p.m.
