DES MOINES, Iowa – No. 22 ranked Iowa State posted a 7-0 women's tennis dual victory over South Dakota at the Knapp Center on Saturday afternoon.
 
The Cyclones, now 2-0 on the season after opening with a 7-0 win over Drake, won all nine matches in straight sets. South Dakota, who faces Drake on Sunday, was playing its dual opener.
 
Anna Medvyedyeva, a freshman, won seven games in her No. 5 singles match against Chie Kezuka, falling 6-4, 6-3.
 
Grace Chadick, a sophomore and first-year Coyote, fell 6-2, 6-3 at No. 2 singles while senior Paige Alter, another first-year Coyote, dropped a 6-0, 6-4 match at No. 4 singles to Sofia Cabezas, ranked 114^th.
 
Bea Havlickova, a sophomore, fell at No. 1 singles to Thasaporn Naklo, ranked 57^th, 6-1, 5-1.
 
"For our first match of the year we competed well," coach Brett Barnett said. "Iowa State is #22 for a reason, they played a great match and really executed on the big points. 
 
"We did a lot of good things, just couldn't string together a lot of momentum. We'll start executing better and better coming up. We have a great opportunity tomorrow against a good Drake team. We have to compete hard from the first point and if we can do that we'll be in a good position."
 
South Dakota (0-1) and Drake (0-1) will meet inside the Knapp Center at 11 a.m. on Sunday.
