Senior Rachel Bostrom (Forest Lake, Minn./Forest Lake) surpassed 100 career wins in combined singles and doubles play with her pair of victories Friday night. 
 
Northwestern got perfection in half of the singles matches, starting at the top with Karen Moe (Fargo, N.D./Fargo South ) (6-0, 6-0) in No. 1 singles. Emily Knight (Fort Dodge, Iowa/Fort Dodge) grabbed another clean scorecard for the Purple and Gold in No. 5 singles (6-0, 6-0), while Rachel Bostrom (Forest Lake, Minn./Forest Lake) pulled another flawless performance (6-0, 6-0) for the Eagles in No. 6 singles.

No. 4 singles play went in favor of Brooke Lapinski (Chanhassen, Minn./Chanhassen), as the sophomore added to UNW's clean sweep.
 
In doubles play, all three matchups ended with the Eagles in total control. Moe and Henke dominated No. 1 doubles (8-3) as usual. Matetich and Lapinski teamed up for another win (8-2) in No. 2 doubles. Rounding out the team, Knight and Bostrom took No. 3 singles (8-2) as UNW finished off a perfect season against the Vikings.
