Rockets Edge Lady Flames 4-2 on Saturday

1/15/2022 9:28:24 PM | Women's Tennis

The Toledo Rockets edged the Liberty Lady Flames 4-2 on Saturday afternoon at the Three Oaks Park Tennis Complex.

Liberty drops to 0-2, while Toledo gets its first win of 2022 and bolsters its record to 1-1.

Saturday’s match was the Lady Flames’ second of the day. Liberty was originally scheduled to face Toledo on Sunday morning, but the match was moved up a day due to expected inclement weather in Florida.

The Rockets erased one-set deficits in singles on courts five and two to secure the victory.
