MOORHEAD, Minn. — The Minnesota State University Moorhead women's tennis team is back in action this weekend as they travel to Sioux Falls, S.D. for a pair of Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference matches.  The Dragons will be up against the University of Augustana Vikings at 6:30 p.m. Saturday and the University of Sioux Falls Cougars Sunday at 9:30 a.m.

The Dragons are off to an undefeated 4-0 start to the season while posting a 3-0 record in NSIC play.  They are currently in first place in the NSIC standings, a half of a match ahead of the also undefeated Vikings.  The team is seeking to maintain first place in the NSIC and end Augie's regular season conference win streak at 67 on Saturday, while on Sunday they are looking to avenge last season's 5-4 loss to the Cougars.

MSUM only lost two sets in singles, leaving senior Morgan Smith, junior Jessamy Jones, and sophomores Jade Goodyear-Anderson and Ricquel Ramsbottom undefeated with 4-0 marks on the seasons.  Senior Ashley Wood and junior Maria Moral Carretero both went 1-1 on the weekend and are now 3-1 on the season.

The doubles tandem of Jones and Wood had another undefeated weekend and went to 4-0 on the season while Goodyear-Anderson and Carretero and Smith and Ramsbottom had victories against UMD, but suffered losses against St. Cloud putting the tandems at 3-1 on the season.

Jones has yet to lose a match in singles or doubles this season.

Oliver Summers is in his fourth year as MSUM's head coach.
