MILWAUKEE – A match that went into the night, the MSOE women's tennis team took a narrow victory with the Illinois Tech Scarlet Hawks.
RESULT
MSOE RAIDERS – 5
Illinois Tech - 4
HOW IT HAPPENED
- Illinois Tech (3-7, 3-5 NACC) took the first two singles matches by narrowing victories as Stephania Gonzales cruised to a 6-2 6-0 victory in the No. 3. A close defeat for MSOE (6-6, 5-2 NACC) in the No. 4 singles was redeemed in the No. 5 and No. 6 from Katie Ross (1-6, 6-1, 6-3) and Emily Gutknecht (6-0, 6-2), respectively, setting up a battle in the doubles.
- The Scarlet Hawks put the pressure on with a victory in the No. 1 doubles, but that didn't phase the Raiders. The Red & White duos of Gabrielle Haensgen and Brenna Sheehan (8-2) and Kelsey Collins and Michaela Haensgen (8-4) each were victories in the final two doubles match to clinch the victory.
WHO'S ON DECK
The Raiders travel to Lakeland University on Saturday to take on the Muskies.
