Final Stats

ORANGEBURG, SC - It may have been a neutral-site match held in Orangeburg, South Carolina, but the result was decidedly one-sided as the Bethune-Cookman College Wildcats easily handed the Rams their eighth loss of the season as BCC defeated WSSU 7-0 in non-conference men's tennis action Saturday.

The Rams were held without a point as they were swept in all six singles flights and all three doubles flights as Winston-Salem State tallied only 16 points in nine collegiate tennis matches on the afternoon.

The loss drops the Rams to 1-8 on the season as BCC improves to 8-2 overall with the win.  WSSU returns to action on March 9, 2007 as they face the Bears of Morgan State University.
