SPARTANBURG, S.C. - After the sixth match postponed or canceled due to weather last week, the USC Upstate women's tennis team will get back on the court on Wednesday when it heads to Charlotte as a tune-up for a Friday match at ETSU. The Spartans will be looking for some payback against the Lady Bucs, who beat Upstate, 5-2, in 2009 for a piece of the A-Sun regular-season title. Both teams, along with UNF and Campbell, are still undefeated in A-Sun play.
