Women's Tennis Team Falls in GLVC Semifinals to Top-Seed UMSL

INDIANAPOLIS - The Maryville women's tennis team dropped a 4-1 decision to No. 1 seed Missouri-St. Louis to bow out of the 2026 Great Lakes Valley Conference championship in the semifinal round.
 
At the No. 1 doubles slot, Isabella Alvarez and Nazli Saka battled to take five games but lost 7-5. Luana Luersen and Grace Brown dropped their match at No. 2, while at No. 3 doubles, Maria Mateos and Mira Vasileva claimed five games but the match was unfinished.
 
In the No. 5 singles position, Luersen was victorious with a 1-6, 6-3, 6-4 decision. However, that would be the lone singles point the Saints would be able to snare.
 
Alvarez won her opening set at No. 1 singles but lost in three sets. Mateos and Brown both extended their matches at No. 4 and No. 6 to third sets.
