TULSA, Okla. – The University of North Dakota women's tennis team fell, 4-0, on Saturday morning to No. 66 Denver in the 2026 Summit League Women's Tennis Championship match at the Michael D. Case Tennis Center.
 
With the loss, the Fighting Hawks' season comes to an end with an overall record of 14-10, finishing just one victory shy of clinching the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Tennis Championships for the first time in the Division I era.
