CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — The NJIT women's tennis suffered a second straight spring break setback Wednesday afternoon in a 6-1 loss to Southland Conference foe Texas A&M - Corpus Christi at the Thomas J. Henry Tennis Center.
Despite only securing one point against TAMCC (15-2) via a three-set win by Amira Badawi at No. 3 singles, the Highlanders (6-6) showed tremendous fight across the board in its first competition against a Southland opponent.
