Pioneer women's tennis team stays unbeaten with pair of MWC victories

JACKSONVILLE, Ill. - Grinnell College's women's tennis team geared up for its big weekend of matches with a Saturday sweep of Monmouth College and Illinois College.

The Pioneers opened the day with a 6-1 decision over Monmouth and followed with a 7-0 blanking of the Lady Blues, running their victory streak against Midwest Conference foes to 51 dating back to the 2018-19 season. Of those victories, 38 have been shutouts.

Grinnell improved to 4-0 both in the MWC and overall while clinching a spot in the four-team NCAA Tournament qualifier next spring. 

Grinnell swept doubles play against Monmouth with wins by the duos of Anika Sheth '26-Nichole Henning '26 (6-2), Logan Tom '2-Isa Voinescu '26 (6-0) and Tan Mukherjee '26-Eliana Martin '29 (6-0). The Pioneers also won Nos. 2 through 6 singles with Sheth (2-6, 6-3, 10-6), Henning (6-1, 6-0), Marta Gonzalez '29 (6-0, 6-1), Martin (6-0, 6-0) and Sofia Bolanos '28 (6-1, 6-2).

Against IC, doubles winners were the teams of Sheth-Henning (6-2), Tom-Voinescu (6-0) and Gonzalez-Martin (6-0, 6-0). Singles wins were posted by Voinescu (6-4, 6-3), Tom (6-0, 6-0), Sheth (6-1, 6-1), Henning (2-6, 6-0, 10-4), Mukherjee (6-1, 6-1) and Martin (6-0, 6-1).

Grinnell will attempt to win the MWC regular-season title next weekend when Lake Forest College visits Saturday and Cornell College on Sunday. All three teams are unbeaten in the league standings.
