Box Score ST. JOSEPH – Two Griffons won their 2020 singles debuts on Friday, but Griffon Tennis fell to Augustana in their debut match at the Stoney Creek Hotel Tennis Classic. The Griffons kept it close throughout the contest, but the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference-favorites had the upper hand in the end as they won 4-2.

Friday's match was highlighted by Karolina Ström winning within the one spot, as well as Federica Salmaso winning her match at the two spot by a underhand serve.

On top of Friday's action, the Mid-Intercollegiate Athletic Conference released their preseason coaches poll for women's tennis. Missouri Western posted 21 points and placed eighth in the league. Central Oklahoma placed at the top of the poll with 63 points. Non-conference action will continue after Friday's matches and MIAA play for the Griffons will begin March 28 at Fort Hays State.
