HOUGHTON, Mich. - Michigan Tech stayed undefeated at home and swept doubles in a 4-0 win over Davenport in women's tennis Friday at Gates Tennis Center.
The Huskies improved to 2-8, 2-4 GLIAC with the victory while Davenport fell to 8-16, 1-5. Tech plays again Saturday in Houghton at 10 a.m. against Purdue Northwest.
