WEST HARTFORD, Conn.—The University of Hartford women's tennis team put capped off a stretch of three matches in four days with a 6-1 win at home over the Wagner Seahawks.

The Hawks started their stretch with a 7-0 loss at home to Hofstra before falling at Rhode Island, 7-0, on Friday evening. The women turned it around Sunday to end the weekend with the victory over Wagner.
