Box ScoreWEST CHESTER, Pa. – West Chester University's women's tennis squad showed strong conviction and determination in a 9-0 non-league shutout over visiting St. Thomas Aquinas College on South Campus Wednesday afternoon.
West Chester (2-0) came back strong following perhaps one of its biggest wins in the last decade – a 5-4 victory over Slippery Rock last Saturday. It was the Golden Rams' first win over The Rock since 2005 and ended a four-match losing streak to their rivals from the West. St. Thomas Aquinas (6-6) fell to .500 on the year with the loss.
