Augustana Women’s Tennis Wins 12th-Straight NSIC Tournament
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – The Augustana Women's Tennis team won its 12th-straight NSIC Tournament title in a 4-0 victory over Minnesota State inside Huether Family Match Pointe Sunday.
The No. 1 seeded Vikings advance to a 20-3 overall record while the No. 7 seeded Mavericks move to a 15-2 overall record.
“It was a great win today,” said Augustana head coach Marc Kurtz. “We lost the doubles point the last time we played Minnesota State and we used that as motivation today. It was nice to be 1-0 up heading into singles play. Minnesota State is a good team and they made us earn it today. I really like how we stayed focused on our individual matches and everyone was battling. Now we wait to hear who and where we play for the Central Regional. Let’s go Vikings!”
