San Antonio - The Tiger women's tennis team lost 8-1 in an inter-divisional match against Division II St. Mary's University on Thursday.

Trinity (3-4) is a member of the NCAA Division III, with a 2-0 record within the division. St. Mary's (5-1) is ranked No. 16 in Division II. The match was originally scheduled for Saturday, and was moved up because of imminent bad weather.
