COLUMBIA, S.C. – The Purdue women's tennis team suffered its first setback of the 2020 season Saturday afternoon for ITA Kickoff Weekend. The Boilermakers dropped the contest at No. 13 South Carolina 4-0.
After a delay of more than two hours, Purdue could not grab a foothold in singles or doubles, as the Gamecocks won their four points in straight sets.
