LUTHERVILLE, Md. (April 5, 2016)-The Morgan State women's tennis team got back in the win column on Tuesday afternoon, as the Lady Bears won their home opener against rival Coppin State, 6-0 in a Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) match played at Green Spring Racquet Club.
 
The match was moved from the Morgan Tennis Courts to the indoor facility due to the cold temperatures. Morgan State improved to 5-8 overall and 4-1 in MEAC action. Coppin State, which has dropped seven of its last eight matches and two straight, fell to 2-9, and 1-4 in the MEAC.
 
Morgan State swept the two doubles matches that were played to claim the doubles point and take a 1-0 over the Eagles.
 
The Lady Bears then claimed all five singles matches to preserve the shut out. Neither team had players available for the third doubles match or sixth singles match.
 
"It feels good to get a win at home," said Morgan State head coach Matt Townes. "We needed this one, and we delivered."
 
Morgan State returns to non-conference action on Thursday, April 7, when the Lady Bears travel to Lewisburg, Pa. to take on Bucknell at 1 p.m.
