WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – The East Carolina women's tennis program certainly did not shy away from testing itself right out of the gate to begin the 2025 dual season, dropping a pair of 4-0 decisions to No. 18 Tennessee and host Wake Forest Saturday at the Wake Forest Tennis Center.

The Pirates look to register their first victory of the campaign Jan. 31 when they host N.C. Central at the River Birch Tennis Center. First serve is scheduled for 1 p.m. and admission is free of charge.
