PISCATAWAY, N.J. - The Rutgers women's tennis team picked up five singles victories and swept all three doubles matches en route to a 6-1 BIG EAST victory over Seton Hall Friday afternoon at the RU Tennis Complex.
Rutgers, which has won back-to-back matches, improves to 12-8 overall and 6-4 in conference play.
"This was a very convincing win for us," head coach Ben Bucca said. "It was great to have both seniors out there winning singles matches for us and leading the team to victory."
