ANDERSON, S.C.-- The Limestone College men's tennis team suffered its first Carolinas-Virginia Athletics Conference loss of the season as the Lady Saints improved to 6-0 in conference play as Limestone split its twin bill against Anderson on Wednesday. The Trojans defeated the Saints 6-3 while the Limestone women easily defeated AU 7-2.

The Lady Saints had to forfeit the No. 2 singles and No. 3 doubles matches due to an injury. Limestone improves to 16-6 overall as Anderson falls to 4-8 overall (3-3 CVAC).
