TAHLEQUAH, Okla. — North Dakota swept the completed matches Sunday in a women's tennis dual against Northeastern State, winning five singles contests and two doubles results in a matchup that counted for the Fighting Hawks but served as an exhibition for the RiverHawks.

Ethel Li and Jule Schulte defeated Sofiia Kotliarova and Renata Morales 6-4 at No. 1 doubles, and Alyssa Giupponi and Emma Roberts followed with a 6-1 victory over Camila De Michele Garzon and Laura Mertens at No. 3. The No. 2 doubles match between Alva Norberg and Linn Svaerd and NSU's Lucia Bontempo and Kotliarova went unfinished.

In singles play, the Fighting Hawks won each completed court.

Li opened singles with a 6-1, 6-3 win over Kotliarova at No. 1. Schulte added a 6-4, 6-3 victory against Morales at No. 2, while Norberg defeated Mertens 7-6, 6-1 at No. 3.

Giupponi claimed a tight match at No. 4 singles, edging Daisy Barrow 7-5, 6-7, 10-8 in a match tiebreaker. Roberts then secured a 6-2, 6-2 win over Bontempo at No. 5.

The No. 6 singles match between NSU's Carla Alvarez Perez and North Dakota's Simone Cameron was abandoned with Alvarez Perez leading 6-2, 5-4.
