DANVILLE, Ky. - The Centre women's tennis team is on a roll that saw the squad win a close 4-3 match over the Midway University Eagles on Wednesday evening. 

Division III schools are playing the 2024-25 season under the 7-point dual match format. The ITA and the NCAA announced the one-year, joint pilot of the scoring format in July of 2024. 

Three Colonels are undefeated in singles play five matches into the season. One of those is Grace Williams. The junior moved to 5-0 in 2025 thanks to a 6-4, 6-2 win over Midway's no. 2 Mara Guillen. Natalie Black improved to a perfect 3-0 with a 6-2, 6-4 decision against Nana Hishida in her fourth seed debut. Freshman Sara Dunn rounded out the undefeated trio as she secured a 4-0 singles record with a 7-5, 6-2 triumph over Angelia Herrera in the sixth-slotted match. 

Carrie Foster won her third-straight solo bout with a tight 7-5, 7-5 win over Sofia Rueda. Carlie Mitchell fell 6-2, 6-0 in the top spot to Agustina Olivero while Kennedy Herring fought to three sets in a 6-1, 3-6, 8-10 setback. 

The reigning SAA Doubles Team of the Week, Williams and Mitchell, kept the winning going with a 6-0 win in the second-ranked match versus Cevada and Rueda. The pair are now 3-0 on the season. 

Black and Herring won three games as the no. 1 duo in a match that went 6-3 in favor of Olivero and Guillen. Skylar Keesee and Kayla Harger fell 6-1 to Herrera and Hishida in the no. 3 singles match.
