BALTIMORE, Md. (April 12, 2026)--The Morgan State women's tennis team closed out the home slate with a dominating 7-0 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) victory over rival Coppin State on Saturday afternoon for Senior Day at Lake Clifton Park Courts.
Morgan State (12-7, 4-1 MEAC), winners of two straight and eight of their nine matches, ended the home campaign with a 3-0 mark.
Coppin State's lone victory on the day would come at No. 1 doubles, following a 7-5 victory. However, the Lady Bears would claim the doubles point when the tandem of
Roua Limem and
Tyler Williams earned a 6-3 victory at the No. 2 spot. Morgan State then claimed a default win at No. 3 to take the 1-0 lead.
From that point on it was all Morgan State, as the hosts won all five singles matches that were played in straight sets and claimed a default victory at No. 6 when Williams extended her winning streak to 11 straight due to Coppin being short a player for that position.
