The women's tennis program at Shawnee State got a victory from Lexy Urban at No. 5 singles, but ultimately dropped a 6-1 decision to the Midway Eagles' women's tennis program Tuesday evening in a River States Conference contest that was held at the Daehler Tennis Courts in Portsmouth.

Urban ultimately posted a 6-3, 4-2 victory over Midway's Grace Froedge at the previously mentioned position to help Shawnee State post a triumph, while Lexy and Lacey Urban gave Midway's No. 2 doubles pairing of Bella McKinney and Nana Hishida a scare before falling by a scant 7-6 (7-5) margin. Brooklyn Foose and Vanessa Akauka fell by a tight 6-4 count at No. 3 doubles to Angelia Herrera and Jasmine McClenahan.

In additional affairs, Lacey Urban won 6-3 in the opening set at No. 3 singles against Hishida before ultimately dropping a 6-3, 1-6, 4-6 decision, while Akuaka, Antonia Ilea and Foose took at least four games in a set each before falling 6-0, 6-4; 6-1, 6-4; and 6-2, 6-4, respectively to Agustina Olivero, Mara Guillen, and Herrera, respectively.
