The Webster University women's tennis team started off a weekend swing through the Chicago area by splitting two matches, defeating North Park University, 7-2, and losing to Wheaton College, 9-0, on April 2 in Hanover, IL.  After being swept by the Wheaton Thunder, Webster bounced right back with a win over North Park.

The Gorloks took a 2-1 lead in doubles vs. the Vikings, and took five of six singles matches.  Monica Behrle (SO, Atlanta, GA/East Paulding HS), Sara Rice (FR, Mahomet, IL/Mahomet-Seymour HS), Jesse Steffens-Willis (SO, Fenton, MO/Summit HS) and Stephanie Lass (SO, Lake Villa, IL/Lake Community HS) all won in straight sets.  Kaylen Kress (SR, Bartlett, IL/Bartlett HS) split sets in her match at #2, but won handily in the tie-breaker, 10-2.

The Gorloks finish up their trip to Chicago with a match vs. North Central College on April 3.  Webster will travel to Carlinville, IL, on April 5 to face Blackburn College in a St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference contest.
