Beavers dominate Falcons in Big 8 tennis opener

The Falcons hosted Big 8 powerhouse American River in the teams' Big 8 Conference opener on Tuesday afternoon, but only because the match couldn't be played at ARC due to unplayable tennis courts.  It didn't seem to faze the Beavers, as they stormed to 9-0 victories in both men and women.  While the overall score wasn't close, several of the individual matches could easily have gone the other way.
