Women's tennis sweeps Illinois Col. and Westminster

JACKSONVILLE, Ill. - Greenville University women's tennis delivered a dominant weekend in Jacksonville, Ill., sweeping Westminster and edging Illinois College to notch back-to-back victories and push momentum into the heart of their fall season.

How it Happened:

The Panthers opened with a dramatic 4-3 win over Illinois College, where clutch singles play proved decisive.

After dropping two of three doubles courts, Greenville roared back behind Irlanda Oliver's three-set thriller at No. 1. Oliver's 10-7 third-set tiebreak sealed a crucial point, while Lanie Carder and Emily Kowalke rolled to straight-set wins at No. 2 and No. 3, respectively.

Ruthie Manor added the finishing touch with a 6-1, 6-1 rout at No. 5, clinching the team victory and underscoring Greenville's resilience against a tough IC squad.

In the second half of the twin bill, Greenville overwhelmed Westminster in a 7-0 sweep, never dropping a set.

Carder and Gregory led the way in doubles with a commanding 6-1 win, while Manor and Brannon followed with a 6-0 decision at No. 2.

Singles proved just as one-sided, highlighted by straight-set victories from Oliver, Kowalke, Goode, and Warren, alongside a dominant debut from Brannon at No. 5.

With two wins in one day, Greenville showed both depth and composure, cementing themselves as a team to watch this season.
