WEST CHESTER, Pa. – The Goldey-Beacom College women's tennis team improved to 9-1 on the season with an impressive, 5-1 win on the road over West Chetser on Wed. afternoon at Campus Tennis Courts.

All three Lightning doubles teams earned victories and freshman Laura Cure and senior Luciana Pereira notched singles wins at the fifth and sixth flights, respectively, before the remaining three singles matches were stopped due to darkness. Because GBC was able to earn five points, today's contest goes down as an official match.
