Box Score BLOOMSBURG, Pa. - The Bloomsburg University men's tennis team picked up its first victory of the fall campaign on Saturday as the Huskies edged visiting Davis & Elkins College, 4-3, at the Burt Reese Tennis Center. Bloomsburg evened its record at 1-1 on the year while the Senators dropped to 1-2 in the final match of the fall season for both teams.

The teams split the six singles matches down the middle but it was the doubles point that proved to be the difference for the Huskies. "We've been working extremely hard on doubles," said head coach Rebecca Helt. "Today, the worked paid off as it was the deciding point."
