SAINT PETER, Minn. – The Gustavus women’s tennis team took on St. Catherine Sunday morning and came out with an 8-1 victory before taking on St. Benedict in the afternoon and winning 9-0. With the wins the Gusties improve to 17-11 on the year and 7-0 in the MIAC.

“After such an emotional win last night, I was worried about where everyone’s head and body would be going in to today but they were ‘all-in’ and played like it,” said Head Coach Jon Carlson. “It was clear there were no residual effects from the night before and they wanted to finish the weekend up right. It should be noted that everyone from the team, all 23 members, found their way up to the match last night, and showed up again today to support their teammates, which made a huge difference.”
