NEW BERLIN, Wis. - The Wisconsin Lutheran
College women's tennis team narrowly defeated the University of
Dubuque Spartans 5-4 on Thursday in a non-conference dual match
which concluded indoors at the Princeton Club. The contest began at
Hart Park in Wauwatosa, Wis., but was later finished indoors at the
Princeton Club due to rainfall.
Sophomore Kathryn Hendee (Rockton, Ill./Hononegah) and freshman
Lindsay Gauger (Rockford, Mich./Rockford) each claimed victories at
No. 1 and No. 2 singles, respectively, for Wisconsin Lutheran.
Hendee defeated Emma Bridgett 6-1, 6-1, while Gauger earned a 6-2,
7-5 win over Kristina McWethy.
After Emily Pearson (Prairie du Sac, Wis./Luther Preparatory)
and Terri Glasel (Appleton, Wis./Fox Valley Lutheran) dropped
decisions at No. 3 and No. 4 singles, junior Erin Mathiak (Slinger,
Wis./Kettle Moraine Lutheran) and sophomore Taylor King (Wauwatosa,
Wis./Wisconsin Lutheran) bounced back with wins at No. 5 and No. 6
singles for the Warriors. Mathiak won 6-3, 6-2 over Sarah Morgan
and King followed with a 6-2, 7-5 triumph over Spenser Smith.
Hendee and Gauger teamed together at No. 1 doubles to collect an
8-4 victory over McWethy and Lindsay Bonnell. Although it was the
only win in doubles action for the Warriors, it was enough to edge
the Spartans (0-1).
Wisconsin Lutheran (1-0) continues its busy season-opening week
with a pair of Northern Athletics Conference dual matches on
Saturday at the Princeton Club. WLC hosts Dominican University at
10 a.m., before colliding with Concordia University Chicago at 2
p.m.
