Ranked fourth in the Central Region, Jesperson dominated her singles competition, winning both her No. 1 singles matches over MSU Moorhead and Winona State in 6-0, 6-0 fashion. On the season, Jesperson is 16-1 in singles competition with her only loss coming against Division I St. Joseph's. Paired with Jessa Richards, Jesperson was equally dominant in doubles play, winning both first-flight matches 8-1.
