Niether match was played to completion because the team result (W-L) would not have been affected, matches were running late, and schools were looking at some long drives home late in the day.
UW-W is 20-3, 20-2 versus Division III competition. The twenty win season is just the second time that UW-Whitewater has reached that mark. The first time was last year, when the Warhawks went 21-9.
Whitewater will play Carthage College and Olivet Nazarene University in Bourbonais, Illinois April 25. The final home competition of the year will be the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference "final four" May 2 on the Wangerin Courts south of Williams Center on campus. UW-W is hosting the final by virtue of winning the WIAC championship in the fall, with the winner of the duals May 2 earning the league's automatic berth in the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division III Championship beginning May 8.
