All Panthers Championship Match in SLIAC Women's Tennis
It will be a battle of the Panthers in the 2019 St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Women's Tennis Championship match when Greenville University meets Principia College. Greenville, the #1 seed in the tournament, advances to their first championship match since 2014 while Principia is chasing their 21st tournament title.

Webster, the #3 seed in the tournament, started the morning off with a 5-0 win over Fontbonne, the #6 seed at Kings Point while #5 seeded Westminster College knocked off #4 seed Blackburn College 5-0 on the indoor courts at Principia College.
Greenville then squared off against Westminster in Elsah, winning 5-2 to advance to the championship match. Meanwhile Principia, down 4-2 at one point during their match against Webster, won the final three singles matches to come from behind and clinch a championship berth.
