St. Louis - Murray State (6-1) continue their great start to the season winning both matches this past weekend. Valley teams look forward to an upcoming 14 match weekend.

Drake's Ines Stephani defeated Iowa's Daianne Hayashida. Hayashida entered the weekend as the country's 85th-ranked singles player. The defending MVC Player of the Year picked up the first ranked win of her career.
 

On Sunday (Feb. 18) Valpo's Olivia Czerwonka recorded her 17th singles win this season and the 80th of her career, the first player in program history to reach that mark. She is one singles win away from cracking the program’s single-season top 10 as an 18th victory would put her in a four-way tie for ninth in the single-season section of the record book.
 

Last week (Feb. 10-11) Murray State senior Annika Pschorr earned her 100th career win after sweeping her doubles matches with partner Sarah Bureau against Bellarmine and Eastern Kentucky.  This week Sarah Bureau won both matches at the #2 position in straight sets to help Murray State secure wins over WKU and MTSU, with Murray State having not beaten MTSU since 1989.
