Completing a long day of tennis, the Webster University men's and women's squads handily defeated Eureka College (IL), both winning 9-0, on April 3.  Earlier in the day, the women beat Westminster College, 7-2, while the men lost to the defending St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference champs, 8-1.  All of the action took place at the Webster Groves Tennis Center.

The women's team won its seventh straight, winning four matches in a stretch of four days.  The team had defeated Blackburn College  (IL), 7-2, on March 31, and Fontbonne University, 7-2, on April 1.  Kate Coen (JR, Rockwood Summit HS) extended her personal match winning streak to 14 in a row, and Lindsey Hays (SO, Francis Howell HS) extended her's to 13, as both were victorious in singles and doubles in all four matches.

Losing only a season-opening match to NCAA II University of MIssouri-St. Louis, the women's squad has improved to 3-0 in SLIAC conference play, and 7-1 overall.  The team won its first SLIAC title in 2010, when it went undefeated in regular season play (6-0), and won the SLIAC Tournament as well.

The men started the day with the loss to Westminster.  The Gorloks finished second to Westminster in 2010 in the SLIAC, losing the SLIAC Tournament championship to the Blue Jays.  The team rebounded in a big way later in the day with the 9-0 victory over Eureka, completing a busy weekend.  Webster had travelled to Bloomington, IL. the previous day and downed Dominican University, 9-0, before losing to host Illinois Wesleyan, 9-0.

Facing a tough Wesleyan squad on the road, the Goroks had the proverbial 'much closer than the score indicates' kind of match, with three losses coming in the super tie-breaker.  The men are 1-1 in SLIAC conference play, and 7-4 overall.

The men's tennis team travels to Greenville College (IL) on April 5 for another SLIAC match-up.  The women's next match is also vs.Greenville, but at the Webster Groves Tennis Center, on April 8.
