WICHITA FALLS, Texas – The 20th-ranked Midwestern State women's tennis team closed out Lone Star Conference action with a dominant 8-1 win over Texas A&M-Kingsville Monday afternoon at the MSU Tennis Center.

Senior Lindsay Nochowicz clinched the win for Midwestern State (16-7) with a 6-1, 6-0 victory at No. 5 singles to help the Mustangs finish 2-1 in their LSC slate this season.

The Mustangs swept through doubles play with senior Maddie Schorlemmer and junior Abby White coasting to an 8-0 victory on court three to put Midwestern on the board first.

The 23rd-ranked duo of Nochowicz and freshman Eirini Kontaki rallied from a 6-1 deficit for a 9-7 triumph at No. 1 doubles before freshman Greta Lazzarotto improved to a team-best 21-2 record, teaming up with sophomore Amy Clifton to earn an 8-5 win on court two for the doubles sweep.
