Mustangs remain diligent in 7-0 victory over Mount Marty

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. Stefany Simplicio completed the sweep for Morningside with a 6-1, 6-2 win in the no. 2 position.

The Mustangs wrap up their regular season on Monday with a Great Plains Athletic Conference finale at home against College of Saint Mary at 3 p.m.
