EVANSVILLE, Ind.—The University of Southern Indiana women's tennis team had little trouble notching its fourth victory of the season Friday as the Screaming Eagles topped the University of Missouri-St. Louis, 9-0, at the USI Tennis Courts.
USI (4-3, 2-2 GLVC) defeated the Riverwomen, 8-3, in number one doubles 8-2, in number two doubles and 8-1, in number three doubles to jump out to a 3-0 lead.
The Eagles finished the contest by winning all six singles matches in straight sets to pick up their third consecutive victory.
Senior
