WINONA, Minn. — The Saint Mary's University women's tennis team's nonconference dominance continued Saturday afternoon, as the Cardinals dropped Loras for their second straight 8-1 victory — improving to 4-0 against non-MAIC opponents this season.
 
"The ladies played really well," said Saint Mary's coach 
Jeff Halberg. "It was just a solid performance — and a solid week — all the way around."
 
Saint Mary's got off to a quick start, winning all three doubles matches to grab an early 3-0 lead.
 
Kennedy Morgan (Green Bay, Wis.), 
Zoie Becker (St. James, Minn.), 
Emily Henderson(Jordan, Minn.), and 
Ashley Renwick (Farmington, Minn.) picked up straight-set singles wins, while 
Natalie Peterson rallied from a set down to record a 6-7 (3), 7-5, 10-2 win at No. 1 singles.
 
The Cardinals, who have won two straight and four of their first five, are back in action next Saturday, hosting Saint Benedict (12:30) and Bethany Lutheran (6:30) in a pair of matches at the Winona Tennis Center.
