Eagles have five players in singles action Sunday
COLORADO SPRINGS, Col. (EMUEagles.com) — Head Coach Ryan Ray's Eastern Michigan University women's tennis team continued its outstanding play here Saturday, Oct. 6, in the second day of the three-day Air Force Academy Invitational.
“To have all five of our players in singles semis is great,” Ray said. “Diana (Davitaia) pulled off a strong nationally ranked win, and the ladies are really competing right now. Any losses are very close losses. We look forward to four of our ladies competing in semis and hopefully finals to follow.”
