Eagles blank Bethany Lutheran in UMAC Tournament semifinal

MINNEAPOLIS – The University of Northwestern women's tennis team didn't need long to defeat Bethany Lutheran College in the Upper Midwest Athletic Conference (UMAC) Tournament semifinal round on Friday, using a 9-0 win to advance to Saturday's league finale. The Eagles will face the College of St. Scholastica at 1:30 p.m. at the Baseline Tennis Center on the University of Minnesota campus for the right to be called UMAC Tournament champion.

Match Results

While all three of the doubles matches went Northwestern's way, two of them were in 8-0 fashion at both Nos. 1 and 3. Rachel Bostrom (Forest Lake, Minn./Forest Lake) and Brooke Lapinski (Chanhassen, Minn./Chanhassen) were 8-3 winners at No. 2 doubles. UNW yielded just three games throughout all six singles matches to solidify the sweep.

In terms of records, the wins bump Megan Johnson (Hibbing, Minn./Hibbing) up to 136 combined career victories in both singles and doubles play, while Karen Moe (Fargo, N.D./Fargo South )'s No. 2 singles win over Alicia Kranz was the sophomore's 25th of the year to extend her program record for singles wins in a single year.
