The Syracuse women's tennis team remained unbeaten at home as it swept Big East rival UConn on Senior Day, 7-0.

Syracuse women’s tennis ended its regular season on a high note Friday, sweeping the University of Connecticut, 7-0. The Orange finished the regular season 16-6 and 8-1 in the Big East.

Though an exciting end to the season, the match was bittersweet as it was the last one for seniors Christina Tan, Jacquelynn Tang, and Simone Kalhorn. Their coaches and fellow teammates honored all three girls in a ceremony before the match.

“This is not an easy program,” SU head coach Luke Jensen said. “These girls really set the tone for the whole rest of the team.”
