The Luther College women's tennis team wrapped up its regular season fall schedule with a pair of road victories over Simpson College and Central College this afternoon.
The Norse dropped just six games in singles play and two in doubles action en route to a 9-0 victory over Simpson. The 9-0 victory was the fourth over an Iowa Conference opponent this year.
Following the Simpson match, the Norse traveled to Pella and posted a 6-3 victory over the Dutch of Central College. Alana Humpal and Katie Nichols at #2 doubles and Katy Lindstrom and Fran Fairfield at #3, got the Norse off to a 2-1 start, posting wins of 8-3 and 8-5 respectively.
In singles play, the Norse picked up four more wins, securing a 6-3 victory. Elise Allen won a hard fought three set match at #1, while Nichols at #2, Katie Patterson at #3 and Meghan Williams at #6 all posted straight set wins.
The two wins increased Luther's Iowa Conference record to 7-1, 12-2 overall. Next weekend, Luther will join the rest of the Iowa Conference for the league's team championships that will be held at the Hawkeye Tennis and Recreation Center in Iowa City. The Norse will more than likely be the #2 seed of the tournament. Times and schedules will be announced this week on the Iowa Conference website.
