OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. — Southern Nazarene will play for a shot at an automatic bid to the NAIA Women's Tennis National Championship after the Crimson Storm won its quarterfinal and semifinal matches at the NAIA Unaffiliated Group 3 Tournament.
The Crimson Storm (13-5) swept through Our Lady of the Lake (Texas), 9-0, in the quarters before taking down No. 15 Oklahoma Baptist in the semifinals. SNU will take on No. 6 Oklahoma Christian, Wednesday, at noon for the tournament championship.
SNU didn't have any issues in its first match with OLLU as the storm won each match in straight sets and picked up a default win at No. 6 single and No. 3 doubles.
The Storm then only lost at No. 6 singles and No. 1 doubles to the Lady Bison. Every match that SNU won against OBU was in straight sets outside of No. 1 singles that went three.
