The only thing that could stop the Muhlenberg tennis teams in Hilton Head was the weather.
After having their first scheduled matches rained out, the Mules combined to go a perfect 6-0 on their Spring Break trip, capping the highly successful week with twin 5-2 wins against Alfred.
The men, playing shorthanded, came back to win after losing the doubles point. The Mules took five of the six singles matches, all in straight sets, against an Alfred squad that was also undefeated for the week.
