UNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND, Va. – The University of Richmond women's tennis completed an in-state weekend sweep on Sunday evening, defeating Longwood, 7-0, at the Country Club of Virginia.

“We're starting to get our timing and mental toughness back,” Head Coach Mark Wesselink said. “We need to build on this and get a couple players healthy. We're in a pretty good place right now.”
