NEWBERRY- The men's and women's tennis team got the 2019-20 season started off on the right foot, defeating USC Sumter in their season opener at the Oakland Tennis Center. The men's defeating the Fire Ants 
5-4 and 5-2 , while the women's team took decisions by 4-0 and 5-0 final counts. 

Enrico Hass, Edison Amarzumjan and Lawerence Friedland won both of their singles matches to push the Wolves to victory. Hass, a sophomore from Freiburg Germany, helped spark the Wolves with momentum in both of his matches. Amarzumjan looks to have another dominant year as he was selected as the 2019 South Atlantic Conference Tennis Player of the Year. The senior standout finished last year with a 21-3 record and was nearly perfect in conference play winning nine out of 10 matches. 

The women's team had an exceptional team performance as they swept the contest against the Fire Ants. The Wolves only allowed one point in all of today's matches, with strong performances from sophomore teammate's Lucy Spice and Madison Conwell.
