ANNAPOLIS, Md. - The Navy women's tennis team (8-3) swept a doubleheader on Saturday at the Tose Family Tennis Center, defeating Seton Hall (1-4), 4-3, and defeating Longwood (3-3), 6-1. Navy has won three straight dual matches and six of its last seven.

Eight different Mids won singles matches on Saturday and eight Mids earned doubles victories.

"We had two big team victories today," said head coach Keith Puryear. "Every player played a hand in if not one than two matches today. Both of our opponents today are solid teams and we have always had tough matches with them. I like the direction we are moving. Obviously we can always improve upon things, but I was fairly pleased with how the team played."
