SIOUX CITY, IOWA – The Mustangs nearly had today's women's tennis in the bag by virtue of setting foot on the court, as a short-handed Mount Marty squad gave the home team a 2-0 lead in singles and a 1-0 advantage in doubles. Morningside did stray from its values, however, as the Mustangs remained locked in and kept Mount Marty off the scoreboard, winning 7-0.
One doubles win would have been enough for Morningside to make it an easy 3-0 advantage, but Lidia Suarez and Sophia Guntren stayed the course as they won 6-0 and Line Jensen and Brooke Marshall kept the Lancers winless with a 6-1 victory. Ellie Peterson and Addison Meyers received a win via forfeit.
Peterson and Meyers received singles wins, too, bringing the match to a team score of 3-0. Jensen, the reigning GPAC Player of the Week, clinched the team win with a 6-0, 6-0 victory; Kailee Bailey followed with a 6-0, 6-1 win at no. 2; and Guntren won 6-0, 6-1 playing in the no. 4 slot.
