WOMEN’S TENNIS

The #RV Huntington women’s tennis team opened the 2026 spring slate with a road trip to Detroit on Friday afternoon, falling 7–0 to NCAA Division II Wayne State University at the Duchene Athletic Facility. After posting a 4–2 mark during the fall portion of the schedule, the Foresters now sit at 4–3 overall following the setback against a talented Raider squad.

The 2026–27 academic year marks a transition for Huntington, with the spring serving as the program’s primary season and featuring Crossroads League competition, as the CL was the only NAIA conference to compete during the fall. Huntington returns to action next Saturday, January 31, with a 4:00 p.m. match at St. Mary’s.
