History <\/a><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n VIRGINIA, Minn. \u2013 The St. Olaf College women’s tennis team picked up its first dual match victory of the season with a 5-2 Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) win over the College of St. Scholastica on Saturday at Virginia Indoor Tennis and Pickleball Club.<\/p>\n In its first match of the spring, St. Olaf (1-2, 1-1 MIAC) swept the three doubles matches to win the doubles point and went on to win four of the six singles matches to down St. Scholastica (0-4, 0-2 MIAC) for the fifth consecutive season. Senior Alexandra Berns<\/a>, senior Emma Clift<\/a>, and first year Dana Keesler<\/a> were all victories in both singles and doubles for the Oles.<\/p>\n Berns and Clift improved to 3-0 overall this season with a 6-4 victory at No. 1 doubles in the closest of the three doubles matches. The tandems of Keesler and sophomore Elliana Loesch<\/a> and junior Mads Hockmuth<\/a> and first year Norah Brusco<\/a> posted 6-1 victories in the other two spots in their first matches as partners.<\/p>\n All six of the singles matches were decided in straight sets, although three included a tiebreak set. Berns won her third consecutive singles match with a 6-2, 6-0 victory atop the lineup, while Keesler also dropped just two games in her 6-0, 6-2 win at No. 4 singles.<\/p>\n Clift and Sloane both won first-set tiebreaks in their matches at No. 3 and No. 5 singles, respectively, before having more comfortable score lines in the second sets. Clift won 7-6 (4), 6-2 at No. 3 singles, while Sloane posted a 7-6 (5), 6-1 win at No. 5 singles.<\/p>\n St. Olaf will take on Wartburg College (9 a.m.) and Northwestern College (4 p.m.) on campus at the Tostrud Center on Saturday, Feb. 21.
