BUCKHANNON, W.Va.-- WVWC tennis was back home on Wednesday (Mar. 16) for a non-conference matchup against Bloomsburg University. Both teams prevailed, with the women winning a nailbiter 4-3 and the men rolling to a 6-1 victory.

Then, Rebecca Osborne won her matchup at no. 5 (7-5, 6-1) to give the Bobcats a 2-0 advantage. However, after Bloomsburg clawed back into the contest, Pinto and Alvarez came back in singles and won critical three-set matches to give the 'Cats the match.
 
The men dominated the contest from start to finish sweeping the doubles matches in convincing fashion.
