WOMEN’S TENNIS
The HU women’s tennis team opened up its 2018 season by breezing past IU Kokomo 7-2 Tuesday afternoon at the Howard County Tennis Center in Greentown, Ind.
The Foresters, who boast four returners and four newbies, are coming off a 14-6 record last year and seemed to pick up where they left off. Huntington gave away two points by default but otherwise easily controlled the match from start to finish.
HU has more than a week’s break before kicking off its league season at Spring Arbor on August 30.
