MINNEAPOLIS (csssaints.com) – The St. Scholastica women's tennis team was hoping for a change of fortunes against the University of Northwestern on Saturday in the Upper Midwest Athletic Conference (UMAC) Tournament championship at the Baseline Tennis Center, but the Saints came up short falling 6-3.

Alexis Gunderson (Virginia, Minn./Virginia HS) and
Miki Samz (Savage, Minn. /Burnsville HS) at the No. 2 spot. All three doubles scores were 8-5.

Singles winners for the Saints were
Sarah Coryell (Golden Valley, Minn. /Armstrong HS) at No. 5 by scores of 7-5, 6-4 and Samz at No. 6 by scores of 6-1, 6-3.
