USD Women’s Tennis Wins First Duals of the Year

The Coyote Women’s Tennis team competed twice in Sioux Falls last weekend going undefeated against Missouri State Bears and Sioux Falls Cougars.

The first match was against the Bears as the Coyotes won 5-2, claiming four singles victories and two doubles victories.

Then against the Cougars, USD claimed all six singles matches and three doubles to win 7-0 over USF.

Senior Bea Havlickova went undefeated over the weekend to improve to 3-0 on the season while picking up her 60th career victory, just the fourth Coyote to reach that mark.

Junior Selena Bird and senior Grace Chadick both went 2-0 as well.

Bird, along with freshman Natalia Alves de Lima, won two doubles matches as well as sophomore pairing Sorcha Caves and Amanda de Oliveira.

The Coyotes move to 2-1 on the season in dual matches and face Utah State and Montana State in Bozeman, Montana next month.
