MONMOUTH, Ill. (10/20/2025) — The Monmouth College women's tennis team completed their fall season at the Midwest Conference Individual Tournament on Sunday in Madison, Wisconsin.

"Both Labicki and Holst came back to win in tiebreakers and they both showed a lot of toughness," said head coach Brian Dahlstrom. "It was a fun Sunday to close out the fall season with wins."
Ivana Stefanova (Streamwood, Illinois) and Labicki (Antioch, Illinois) lost at No. 1 doubles semifinals 8-2 to Lake Forest.

"We had two close wins in doubles in the semifinals, reversing losses from earlier in the season," said Dahlstrom. "It is great to see our teams working together, building points and making really good shot selection choices."
The women's team will play against Webster indoors on Feb. 28 for their next match.
