SANFORD - The Lady Scots tennis team (2-9) went on the road Tuesday to Sanford, as they took on the Lee County Yellowjackets (1-8) in a doubleheader. The back-to-back matches were played because of a make-up from earlier in the season. They were also the second and third matches played in the past two days for the Lady Scots.

WALESKA, G.A. - The Knights faced a tough task on Saturday, as they traveled to Waleska GA, to face the Reinhardt Eagles, who prior to the match held the fifth position in the AAC. On the flip side, the Knights were coming in as the second placed team in the AAC, although CIU has two extra games to play. The match saw two dominant teams battle down to the wire, and when it was all said and done, neither side was able to put a goal into the net and the match settled at 0-0 at the final whistle.

Although the Skyhawks are a member of the AAC, the official conference schedule will start next week when the Knights host Union College. Always a tough environment to play at, the Knights weren’t able to move the ball with much efficiency and the Skyhawks got some big early plays to jump out to a lead that the Knights could never catch.
