Royals Drop Match to Bennies

St. Joseph's, Minn. – The Bethel University women's tennis team got handed their second loss in a row for the first time all season by Saint Benedict with a heart breaking 4-5 loss on Saturday afternoon. Royals finish the regular season at 15-4 (7-3) on the year. BU's next opponent in the MIAC Playoffs will be decided Sunday after all MIAC competition is completed. Bethel's seed range can go from the 3 through 5 seed, depending on different scenarios.

  • Both 1 and 2 doubles came down to key tiebreakers, with the Royals and Bennies splitting 1-1 in those matches. Julia Baber and Lauryn Douglas picked up BU's lone doubles win at No. 1
  • Julia Baber at No. 2 singles came out on top in straight sets, that large in part to a close second set that she took in a tie breaker. Baber finishes the regular season with a 15-2 record. 
  • Emma Thole goes 10-5 at No. 4 singles with a straight set victory
  • Rylee Schurman took No. 5 singles in comeback fashion after dropping the opening set 3-6. She flipped the score in set two before taking the tiebreaker 10-7. She heads into the postseason with a 10-5 as BU's No. 5, and is 13-5 overall in singles play.
