GRAND FORKS, N.D. – Minnesota State tennis suffered a 7-0 loss to University of North Dakota on Sunday at Choice Health and Fitness Center. The Mavericks (10-3, 7-1 NSIC) return home to host Winona State on April 12 at 3 p.m. at Swanson Tennis Center to conclude the regular season.
 
The Fighting Hawks improved to 14-6.
 
The NSIC Tournament quarterfinals begin April 25 in Sioux Falls, South Dakota at Heuther Tennis Center. Minnesota State is currently in second place behind undefeated Augustana.

"It was a good weekend of three matches for us," said Minnesota State assistant tennis coach Drew Hawthorne. "Despite the loss at North Dakota, it was a great experience for us to compete against a tough Division I team on their home court. Now we look to have an important week of practice to fine-tune what we need to do to have another successful match against Winona State next weekend."
