BLOOMINGTON, Ill. – Playing at home inside the Evergreen Racquet Club has been very comfortable for the Illinois State women's tennis team, as it headed into Thursday's match against Murray State undefeated at home. The Redbirds (11-6) made sure to keep that record unblemished, as they swept the Racers 7-0 to remain undefeated on their home courts and undefeated in Missouri Valley Conference play at 4-0.
The win was the fourth in a row for ISU and its sixth in the last eight matches overall. It marks the first time since 2021 that the Redbirds started MVC play 4-0, when they finished that season 5-0 to win the regular season title.
