Schaefer is 30-5 this season.  The old mark for wins in a season, at any flight, was 28 by Wendy Seymour in the 1990-91 and 1991-92 seasons.  Smith, now 27-4, is tied for fourth on the single season victory list. 

UW-Whitewater, ranked seventeenth in Division III by the Intercollegiate Tennis Associaton, is 21-3 this season.  The twenty-one wins equals the school season record, set last year when the team went 21-9. 

The Warhawks will host the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference final four Saturday, May 2.  UW-W, the WIAC champion last fall, earned the right to host and the number one seed.  Whitewater will face UW-Oshkosh while Eau Claire and UW-La Crosse meet in the other semifinal.  The two matches winners will meet for the league's automatic berth in the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division III championship tournament.
