Kalla Schaefer (Madison/Madison Memorial), UW-W's usual number one singles player, and
Alexandra Bayliss (Sheboygan/North), number four, did not participate in either of these dual matches because they are competing at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association National Championship in Mobile, Alabama. Schaefer is playing singles, and together with Bayliss, is competing at doubles. The two earned their way to the National Championship by winning the ITA Midwest Regional.
The Warhawks will travel to UW-Eau Claire Sunday for their final regular season WIAC match. The Warhawks and Blugolds will begin competition at 10:00 am. A win on Sunday clinches the number one seed in the WIAC women's tennis championship set to take place on October 22 and 23 in Madison at Nielsen Tennis Stadium.
