Washington – The Georgetown University women's tennis team looked good in their second match of the fall season this past weekend, having all ten players compete at the Navy Blue & Gold Invite in Annapolis, Maryland. The tournament consisted of five brackets for singles matches (A Flight - E Flight) and three for doubles matches (A Flight - C Flight). Eight different programs competed in the three-day event: Georgetown, George Washington, Lehigh, Mount St. Mary's, Navy, Seton Hall, Towson, and Villanova. The Naval Academy hosted the event.

ON THE RECORD - "Our team battled well this weekend! Lots of close matches that went our way and some that didn't but it's great to learn from and we are ready for another great weekend ahead! " - Head Coach Freddy Mesmer
