ROCK ISLAND, Ill. – Augustana didn't have much time to get over its 6-3 College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin defeat at the hands of North Central on Saturday, April 17. The Vikings were on the Lower Campus Courts at 9:00 a.m. on Sunday, April 18 and they easily handled Dubuque 9-0 to get back on the winning track. Head coach Jon Miedema's team is now 7-5 overall after the non-conference victory over the Spartans, who fall to 2-13.
 
Miedema rested some of his regulars on Sunday but it didn't matter as Augustana jumped out to an early 3-0 lead after doubles and then rolled to six fairly easy singles victories.

Junior Justin Cassens (Emerald Ridge HS, Puyallup, Wash.) and freshman Eliot St. Paul (Ecole Diagonal; Paris, France) combined at number two to beat Stefan Zrnic and Zach Norman 8-0. At number three it was freshman David Russ (Pike HS, Indianapolis, Ind.) and senior Ryan Sullivan (The Gow School, Winnetka, Ill.) who got the better of Kody Hampton and Maxwell Flaten 8-1.
