Ewing, NJ… The winning ways for The College of New Jersey women's tennis team continued against conference opponents on Saturday as the Lions won twice to extend their impressive streak to 153 consecutive wins.
Â
TCNJ started the day with a 9-0 win against Rutgers-Newark and then topped William Paterson University, 7-2.

The Lions have won each New Jersey Athletic Conference match since the program began sponsoring the sport in 1982. The team now looks to wrap up its 31

The loss knocked Rutgers-Newark to 2-4 overall and 0-4 in the NJAC, while William Paterson is 2-4 overall and 0-3 in conference play.

The Lions swept all nine points against the Scarlet Raiders, while winning seven of the nine points against the Pioneers.
