ITHACA, N.Y. – The Ithaca College women's tennis team dropped a 6-1 decision to the visiting Skidmore Thoroughbreds on Sunday. The match proved to be both the home opener and the first match of the spring season for the Bombers.
In doubles action, the top IC pair of

A highly competitive matchup took place in No. 1 singles as Dhull won the first set over
