Omaha, Neb.- The #72 Missouri tennis team turned in a perfect performance continuing its win streak with a 7-0 victory over Creighton. The win takes the Tigers to a 4-1 record as the team gears up to face #52 Nebraska.
The Tigers jumped to the early lead clinching the doubles points sweeping all three matches. In singles competition, Mizzou continued to dominate winning all six matches.

Highlighting for the Tigers, freshman Charlotte Bellis and sophomore Yelena Olshanskaya both won their matches without dropping a single set.
