Augustana head coach Jon Miedema picked up a milestone victory on Saturday, September 10 as his team won identical 9-0 decisions in two different cities. The Vikings started the day with a 9-0 win over Illinois Wesleyan in Bloomington, Illinois and then headed down to Decatur, Illinois for an afternoon match with Millikin. That decision also went the Vikings' way by a score of 9-0.
 
The victory over Illinois Wesleyan was the 100^th of Miedema's career with the Augustana women's team. He entered the season with a mark of 97-44 and after the two wins on Saturday he is now 101-44. The Vikings are currently 4-0 in dual meets and 3-0 in the College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin.
 
Originally the match with Millikin in Decatur was supposed to be in the morning and the Vikings were going to play Illinois Wesleyan on the way home. The threat of rain and availability of indoor courts forced the two matches to be flip-flopped.
 
Augustana will tangle with Carthage in a crucial CCIW match on Wednesday, September 14 at home at 3:00 p.m.
