OMAHA, Neb. – Midland University opened postseason play Thursday at the Great Plains Athletic Conference (GPAC) Women's Tennis Tournament, picking up a quarterfinal win before falling in the semifinals to close out its run.

As the No. 5 seed, Midland upset No. 4 seed College of Saint Mary, 4-3, in the opening round before being swept by top-seeded Morningside University, 4-0, later in the day.

QUARTERFINAL: Midland 4, College of Saint Mary 3

Midland rallied from an early deficit to advance past the Flames in a tightly contested match.

College of Saint Mary claimed the doubles point with wins at No. 1 and No. 2. Callista Uchil and Noel Moreno defeated Ai Katsura and Graziela Dallagnol, 6-4, while Yana Gupta and Abrianna Reynosa topped Andrea Vasquez and Lillie Johnston, 6-3. The No. 3 doubles match was halted with CSM leading 5-4 after the point was decided.

The Flames extended their lead to 3-0 with straight-set wins at No. 1 and No. 2 singles, putting Midland on the brink.

The Warriors responded by winning the final four singles matches to complete the comeback. Dallagnol started the rally with a 7-5, 6-2 win at No. 3, followed by Malena Hernandez's 6-4, 6-0 victory at No. 4. Ana Larreal evened the match with a 3-6, 6-0, 6-1 comeback at No. 5, and Johnston clinched the dual with a 6-3, 6-3 win at No. 6.

SEMIFINAL: Morningside 4, Midland 0

In the semifinals, Morningside took control early and carried that momentum through singles play.

The Mustangs secured the doubles point with wins at No. 2 and No. 1. Lara Heinrich and Helene Kreibich defeated Lillie Johnston and Andrea Vasquez, 6-0, at No. 2, followed by Line Jensen and Brooke Marshall topping Graziela Dallagnol and Ai Katsura, 6-3, at No. 1. The No. 3 doubles match was left unfinished with Morningside leading 5-4.

Morningside quickly added three singles victories to clinch the match. Helene Kreibich earned a 6-2, 6-0 win at No. 4, Line Jensen followed with a 6-2, 6-3 victory over Katsura at No. 1, and Lara Heinrich sealed the dual with a 6-0, 7-5 win at No. 2.

The remaining singles matches were left unfinished when the clinching point was secured.

"While we didn't start the year how we wanted to with a couple of tough losses at the beginning of conference, I'm very happy with how the team was able to bounce back and play better every match," commented head coach Ari Lumanog. "We had three players come back from a year without competing, so I am very proud of how they were able to adjust and how the team as a whole performed towards the end of this season, especially in the upset against CSM."

With the split on the day, Midland concludes its season after advancing to the conference semifinals.
