MANKATO, Minn. – For the second time this week, a Northwestern women's tennis program record fell while the Eagles recorded a 9-0 sweep of Bethany Lutheran College on Friday afternoon. Karen Moe (Fargo, N.D./Fargo South ) and Tina Matetich (Hibbing, Minn./Hibbing)'s 8-0 defeat of the Vikings' Ashley Stahl and Jordan Feis at No. 2 doubles gave the both freshmen their 17th doubles wins of the season, breaking Kelly Johnson (Annandale, Minn./Annandale) and Megan Johnson (Hibbing, Minn./Hibbing)'s mark of 16 wins that didn't quite last an entire year.

Match Results

In addition to Moe and Matetich's doubles wins, Northwestern also earned an 8-4 victory in the No. 1 doubles match, while Amber Gallaway (Annandale, Minn./Annandale) and Rachel Bostrom (Forest Lake, Minn./Forest Lake) defeated Anna Wiechmann and Alexa Mowery 8-1 at No. 3 doubles. With Megan Johnson (Hibbing, Minn./Hibbing) and Kelly Johnson (Annandale, Minn./Annandale) picking up a win at No. 1 doubles, Megan tied Rebecca Leland's (2007-2010) Eagles record for doubles wins in a career (44). Johnson will have a chance to break that mark on Saturday.

In singles action, Johnson defeated the Vikings' Marissa Teems 6-0, 6-0 at No. 1, while Matetich and Rachel Bostrom (Forest Lake, Minn./Forest Lake) both won their Nos. 3 and 4 singles matches handily, claiming 6-0, 6-0 and 6-0, 6-1 victories. Moe, who claimed the new spot in the singles wins in a season category after a win over Martin Luther on Tuesday, pushed her current record to 17 victories on the singles side with a 6-0, 6-1 defeat of Morgan Schwartz at No. 2 singles.

Amber Gallaway (Annandale, Minn./Annandale) and Courtney Lawlor (Stoughton, Wis./Stoughton) finished the Northwestern sweep at Nos. 5 and 6 singles. Gallaway defeated Wiechmann 6-1, 6-0 while Lawlor was good for a 6-1, 6-3 win over Mowery.

The Eagles are now 16-5 overall as a team, which is also a program record for victories. Northwestern hopes to improve on that mark and claim the Upper Midwest Athletic Conference (UMAC) regular season championship outright when it takes on the College of St. Scholastica in the league's Game of the Week at 3 p.m. on Saturday at Arrowhead Tennis Center in Duluth, Minn.
