Cornerstone Tops Lourdes in Friday Tennis
Final Results
After nearly two weeks off, Lourdes returned to the courts on Friday afternoon, dropping a 7-0 decision to Cornerstone in a make-up of a postponed match from last week at Grand Rapids Racquet and Fitness in Grand Rapids, Mich.

"We started the season without opportunities in the points, and now we are creating them," head coach
Epifani Jones said afterwards. Â "The loss on paper is an illusion compared to the amount of progress in the process. There's a lot to be proud of."
