UW-W has compiled an impressive lineup in singles, with Schaefer at 21-3, Bayliss 19-1, Smith 16-3, Kasten 18-2, Franzen 10-0 and Foster 7-2.  Warhawk tennis coordinator Frank Barnes juggled his doubles lineup a bit in the Graceland win, but Jackie Vitale (Roselle, IL/Lake Park) and Abby Day (Hartford/Hartford), the most experienced duo on the courts in the dual upped their mark to 10-2.  Smith and Divelbiss improved to 16-3 with their win over Carleton, and the Kasten-Aguilar duo is 11-1.

Graceland is a NAIA member school out of Lamoni, Iowa.  Carleton, like UW-W, is a NCAA III member.

The Carleton match had to be postponed several hours, and moved indoors, because of rain in the Hilton Head area.
 
Whitewater will travel to Brunswick, South Carolina to take on The College of Coastal Georgia Tuesday.
