Spartanburg, SC-Valkyries Tennis opened its season with Thursday-Friday matches against two of the best regional teams, Lander and Erskine respectively.

Erskine, the top pick for Conference Carolinas this season, played a strong match only threatened by #2 doubles which played out to 8-6. Rachel Wilkes and Lindsey Kelley played almost point-for-point with Erskine's #1 singles player who participated on the Flying Fleet's #2 doubles team.
