ST. JOSEPH – Missouri Western Tennis wrapped up the 2018 fall season in dominating fashion, sweeping Grand View 9-0 on Friday.

It was a complete team effort for the Griffons, as each individual posted an impressive performance. Mireia Birosta and Ciarra Gilmore started off doubles play with an 8-1 victory. The victory completes the undefeated season for the doubles pair. Joanna Abreu Roman and Karolina Ström won their doubles match 8-2.

The singles matches were highlighted by Federica Salmaso and Erica Dunn. Salmaso set the tone in singles by shutting out her opponent 6-0, 6-0 in the first match.

Following Salmaso was Erica Dunn, who took the 6-1, 6-0 victory to close out her fall season. Her win on Friday gives Dunn her first career collegiate win in singles.

Mireia Birosta and Ciarra Gilmore both won by default in singles.

Again, Friday’s match against Grand View was the final match of the fall season for the Griffons, as their scheduled match against William Jewell on October 19 was cancelled. Missouri Western Tennis will open their spring season at home against Newman University on February 1.
