NWC gears up for Spring Break trip after loss to St. Kate's

ST. PAUL – The Northwestern women's tennis team will eagerly look forward to its upcoming Spring Break trip to Hilton Head, S.C. after losing its second match in 9-0 fashion in less than 24 hours. After giving it their all against St. Mary's University on Friday night, the Eagles weren't able to muster up the energy needed against St. Catherine University, losing 9-0.

Rebecca Leland (Bricelyn, Minn./United South Central) (Bricelyn, Minn./United South Central) had the best outing of any NWC player, losing to Michaela Burroughs 6-4, 6-2 in the No. 1 singles match. Just down the court, The Eagles' Amy Knight (Fort Dodge, Iowa/Fort Dodge) () put up a valiant fight against Martha Ginder, losing 6-2, 6-3 in the No. 3 singles contest.

Northwestern's trio of doubles teams didn't fare as well, as all three lost 8-1, 8-1, 8-0.

Despite playing all of their matches indoors thus far in the 2010 season, the Eagles are hoping that warmer weather will change their luck. Northwestern will embark on a week-and-a-half trip to South Carolina with the Eagle men's squad, playing four matches before returning to Minnesota. For score updates, stay tuned to nwceagles.com.
