COLUMBUS - The 13th-ranked Columbus State University women's tennis team closed out a perfect weekend with a 7-0 victory over Peach Belt Conference rival Lander University on Saturday at the John W. Walden Tennis Center.
Less than 24 hours after clinching a 4-3 win over 14th-ranked Flagler College, the Lady Cougars (10-3, 5-0 PBC) were back on the court in doubles play against LU.
