FARGO, N.D. — For the second time in three days, the Saint Mary's University of Minnesota women's tennis team picked up a 9-0 victory—and made it look easy.

And has dominant as they were in doubles, the Cardinals were even better in singles, dropping just 13 games in sweep all six matches in straight sets. Boeve and Sheyenne (Cannon Falls, Minn.) led the way, each posting 6-0, 6-0 victories.
