GAMBIER, Ohio – The Cardinal women's tennis team made it five-straight wins on Saturday afternoon with a 9-0 shutout of Mount Vernon Nazarene on the road inside the Kenyon Athletic Center.

It continued to be all Cardinals as the match entered singles play, as they allowed just nine points total between the six flights with the Cougars claiming just one point in four of them.

Navas-Davis picked up the lone shutout with the defeat of Keller in fifth singles, while Bergman owned the top spot by a score of 6-1, 6-0 followed by sophomore Megan Stuteville's victory by the same margin in the six spot.
