The Malone University women's tennis team earned its third straight victory with a thrilling 5-4 win at Wittenberg University on Saturday afternoon. The Pioneers collected four singles wins and one doubles match victory to ensure their total match win over the Tigers.  With the win, the Pioneers are now 4-7 overall (0-6 GLIAC) while Wittenberg dropped to 2-1 overall.
