Vikings.ROCK ISLAND, Ill. – In a final tune-up before the College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin tournament, the Augustana women's tennis team defeated Wisconsin-Stevens Point 8-1 on a cold and windy Lower Campus Courts on Saturday, October 4. The win gave head coach

Miranda Pence (Oswego HS, Oswego, Ill.) at number three doubles and defeated Abbey Johnson and Erin Lemmer 8-4. Lavin and Pence were 4-2 this season.
Lavin, who does not normally play singles, took the court in that role on Saturday and she dropped a tough 6-2; 4-6; 4-10 decision to Lemmer at number six. She finished the year 1-1 in singles.
