NORTHRIDGE – The CSUN women’s tennis team competed in their final tournament before the heart of dual season when they traveled to Long Beach for the LBSU Winter Invitational Jan 18-20.

According to Head Coach Gary Victor
“I felt like we got better each day. Everyone had some outstanding moments and some things they need to work on. The coaches are confident in the resolve of this team, and the work ethic as well as the camaraderie are outstanding and that will be something that drives us throughout the season and beyond.”
