MIDWAY, Ky. – The Bethel University men's and women's tennis teams hit the road for their first matches of the spring season this past weekend.

Vasconcello picked up the fourth point and clinched the win by a score of 6-1 and 6-0. Marina Zotelli picked up the final point for the Cats with scores of 6-1 and 6-2.
