The Peacock women's tennis team completed a perfect Northern Sun Conference regular season with four conference victories over the weekend. Upper Iowa defeated U-Mary (9-0), Bemidji State (7-2), UM, Crookston (9-0), and Northern State (9-0). The Peacocks lost only 2 of 36 matches played over the weekend. Thanks to the 8-0 NSIC record, the tennis team has earned the NSIC Regular Season Championship. Tennis becomes the third program at Upper Iowa to be crowned an NSIC Champion.
The Peacocks were led by five players that did not lose a match in four road contests. Jennifer Bradfield, Kasey Huisman, Mallery Cox, and Erin Kelley all posted 4-0 records in singles and added 4-0 records in doubles action at #1 and #2. Faith Atherton was 2-0 on the weekend at #6 singles. Betsy Limburg was 3-1 at #3 doubles with Kelsey Montgomery, who was perfect in for singles' decisions at #4. Nicole Henry was the final Peacock to play and picked up a 1-1 record at #6 singles.
Upper Iowa will be traveling to the Baseline Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota this weekend, Apr. 19-20, to compete in the Northern Sun Conference Tournament.
