WOMEN'S TENNIS SWEPT BY LA CROSSE

EAU CLAIRE - The UW-Eau Claire women's tennis team was swept 0-9 today by UW-La Crosse to give the Blugolds their first conference loss of the season.

The Blugolds came into their second conference meet of the season with a 1-0 conference record after defeating UW-Stout earlier this season. However, the Blugolds were unable to win a single match against the Eagles.

A couple Blugold members took their matches to three sets. At No. 4 singles Molly Hunt (Jr.-Owatonna, MN) lost a close match 6-4, 4-6, (10-6). Laura Geissler (Jr.-Coon Rapids, MN) also lost a close match at No. 6 singles, losing 2-6, 6-1, 6-4.

The loss drops the Blugolds to an overall record of 7-5 and a conference record of 1-1. The Eagles improve to 2-0 in WIAC play.

Up next for the Blugolds is a home conference meet against UW-River Falls on Tuesday. The meet is scheduled to begin at 3:30 p.m. at the Simpson Courts.
