The Vikings are now 8-0 overall and 4-0 in the CCIW while the Titans fall to 1-5 overall and 0-3 in league play.
 
Despite a minor scare at number one doubles, head coach Jon Miedema's team was in control throughout the match. The number one team of junior Dana Goggin (Buffalo Grove HS, Arlington Heights, Ill.) and senior Aileen MacDonald (Mundelein HS, Mundelein, Ill.) struggled against the Illinois Wesleyan team of Dana Dray and Randi Wilson before finally prevailing 8-4.

At number two sophomore Mollie Magee (Olathe East HS, Overland Park, Kan.) and junior Lauren Goggin (Buffalo Grove HS, Arlington Heights, Ill.) won 8-0 over Brianna Dao and Allie Spontak. The number three match went to the Vikings' team of freshmen Madeline Lombardi (Edwardsville HS, Glen Carbon, Ill.) and Caitlyn Schaffer (Kenwood Academy, Chicago, Ill.) by a score of 8-1 over Kayleigh Ruffolo and Sam Robinson.
