ST. PETER, Minn. – The No. 36-ranked Gustavus women’s tennis team started its 2017 season with a pair of victories Saturday at the Swanson Tennis Center. The Gusties defeated Hamline 9-0 in a Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference match and then beat Northwestern-St. Paul 8-1 in non-league action, moving to 2-0 on the season.
“The women played very well today,” Head Coach Jon Carlson said. “I was really impressed with how they stayed focused the entire match. We got up early, but we didn’t let up in our play and that’s really important as we move forward and the competition gets tougher.”
