ARDEN HILLS, ST. PAUL, Minn. – The No. 28-ranked Gustavus women’s tennis remained unbeaten during Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference play, defeating Bethel University 7-2 and St. Catherine University 8-1 on Saturday.

“The girls played great today,” said Head Coach Jon Carlson. “Mother Nature gave them this challenging schedule of four matches in two days. The team looks at it as a challenge, and focuses on what’s directly the next thing they need to do. The Bethel match was very hard fought. It was a great match to watch. I was very proud of how well we competed.”
