NORTHFIELD, Minn. -- Miriam Shteyman (Fy./Plymouth, Minn./Wayzata) registered another dominating performance in helping the Carleton College women's tennis team to an 8-1 triumph over St. Catherine University in a meeting of regionally-ranked squads. The Knights improve to 8-0 overall and 4-0 in MIAC action as Carleton won two of the three doubles matches before sweeping singles.
 
At No. 1 doubles, Mary Frances Hose (So./Columbia, Mo./Rock Bridge) and Amelia Asfaw (Fy./Seattle, Wash./Seattle Prep) are the No. 12-ranked duo in the Central Region and secured an 8-5 victory over the No. 6-ranked tandem.
 
Ingrid Smith (Fy./Edina, Minn./Edina) and Mariam Nechiporuk (Fy./Portland, Ore./Lake Oswego) added an 8-3 triumph at No. 2 doubles, the pairings third consecutive victory.
 
Carleton won all six singles matches in straight sets.
 
Hose, ranked No. 3 in the region, bested Kelsey Dorr, the No. 10-ranked player, by a 6-4, 6-1 tally.
 
Asfaw and Nechiporuk improved to 8-0 and 7-0, respectively, during dual matches as they picked up identical 6-0, 6-2 results at No. 2 and No. 3 singles.
 
Smith won her fifth straight singles match by a 6-2, 6-3 tally, and Shteyman's 6-1, 6-0 victory means she's lost only one game combined over her last three singles contests.
