The Spartans picked-up its lone win on the day from Elise Beckenmeier in singles action. Beckenmeier won her first career match for MBU in a 4-6, 6-4, 6-1 match. Her win over Daniela Cheda at No. 1 was also a nice birthday gift to the senior from Oakaville, Mo.
Katelyn Barr defeated MBU's Nicole Zevlever at No. 3 singles, but needed a tiebreak set to do it. Zevlever took the first match 7-6 before dropping the next two 6-4 and 6-3.
