WATERLOO, Iowa --- UNI's Thaissa Moreira rallied from a 4-0 hole in the second set and one-set deficit in a winner-take-all singles match to help lift UNI tennis past St. Thomas on Friday night in dual competition. The victory is UNI's second dual win of the season, snapping a three-meet skid.

The Panthers started the meet off hot in doubles competition, sweeping all three matches from the Tommies as Lorena Cardoso/Darta Dalecka and Andrijana Brkic/Kim Zizek took down their opponents in 6-4 matches. Thaissa Moreira/Issa Sullivan would need a tiebreaker to decide their match, which the UNI duo were able to secure.
