From tennis to cross country to football and more, here’s the rundown of the scores from Sept. 7 to Sept. 13

The men’s team finished fourth, while the women’s group finished fifth. Women’s Volleyball traveled to New York to take on Elmira College and the University of Pittsburgh–Bradford. Sweeping both matches in three sets each, the team went 2-0 on the weekend.
