Beth Larson has yet to taste defeat in a collegiate match, as she is a perfect 4-0 in her rookie season in singles and doubles. Playing No. 1 singles and doubles, the freshman from Maplewood, Minn., is unbeaten in both and has yet to drop a set. She recorded straight-set victories over Knox's Megan Funk, UW-River Falls' Kathryne Ostrowski, Edgewood's Kelsey Steinhorst and Lake Forest's Nonie Carlson. Larson also teamed with Lisa Ritland at No. 1 doubles for four consecutive victories in which the duo's closest margin of victory was an 8-4 win.
