Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 Brian Jordan's women's tennis team had split results Sunday when they opened Midwest Conference play. The Scots bounced back with a solid 6-3 win over Beloit on the road trip after opening with a 9-0 loss to perennial power Lake Forest.
    
After winning just a handful of games against the Foresters, the Scots rolled through the Buccaneers sweeping doubles play to take a 3-0 lead. Emma Johanns and McKenzie DeVilder had little trouble dispatching their No. 1 doubles opponent, 8-1. It was a bit tighter at Nos. 2 and 3 where Natalie Curtis and Rachel Leifheit won 8-3 and Haley Johnston and Lexi Tibbs teamed to post an 8-4 win.
    
Johanns kept it rolling at No. 1 singles where she won handily 6-2, 6-1. Curtis followed with a straight set win at No. 5, cruising to a 6-4, 6-3 win. Monmouth's third singles win went the full three sets when Leifheit, playing at No. 4, played a match of momentum, winning the first set 6-1, but losing Set 2, 6-2. She closed out the match with a 6-3 win in the decisive third set.
    
DeVilder nearly joined her teammates in the win column, but fell in a marathon three-setter at No. 2. After dropping the first set 7-6 (7-4 in the tiebreaker), DeVilder came back with a 6-2 win in Set 2, but ran out of gas in the third set, falling 10-2. Johnston at No. 3 and her doubles mate, Tibbs at No. 6, suffered the same fate by identical scores. Each dropped their first set 6-4, and were clipped in the second 7-5.
    
The Scots will host St. Norbert and Lawrence Saturday and Ripon Sunday in another league weekend.
