HOW IT HAPPENED
- vs. St. Norbert
- MSOE (2-2, 2-0 NACC) were the benefactors of a short-handed St. Norbert (1-2, 1-1 NACC) team. Because of this, the Raiders won two matches by default.
- Cierra Smith and Gabrielle Haensgen grabbed an 8-6 victory out of the number two doubles spot.
- Cameron Larson helped secure the overall victory for the Raiders with a 6-4, 1-6, 6-1 victory out of the top singles position.
- at Marian
- Much like St. Norbert, Marian (0-5, 0-2 NACC) was also unable to field a full team and gifted the Raiders two points toward their total.
- The Red & White were dominate in doubles action with the teams of Karley Way / Larson and Yuti Modi / Haensgen each earning 8-2 wins.
- Modi and Michaela Haensgen also won singles matches to increase the Raiders point total with 6-0, 6-1 and 6-1, 6-0 victories respectively.
WHAT'S NEXT
The Red & White will hop out of NACC play for one match when they travel to take on Lake Forest. First serve on Wednesday is scheduled for 4:00 pm.
