Women's Tennis Falls to Wheaton

The Big Blue women's tennis team welcomed Wheaton College for their second to last home match of fall season play. The match against the Big Blue and the Thunder got delayed due to weather conditions. The match was then decided to move indoors to the Decatur Athletic Club with play starting at 2:00 instead of 1:00. With only having courts for a certain amount of time, the Big Blue fell to the Thunder 0-8, with one match not being finished at No. 5 singles. 

The Thunder came out on top right away by sweeping all three doubles. Emily Markus partnered up with Cristina Borunda at No. 1 doubles to give Wheaton their toughest doubles match, but fell 6-8. 

In singles play, Markus came out strong pushing her first set 4-6 against Wheaton's No. 1. Falling in the first set, Markus continued to fight back winning the second set 6-3. With a long 3rd set tiebreaker, Markus fell to Gentry 12-14.

The Big Blue are awaiting for a date and time to host their last CCIW matchup, Elmhurst University. The Big Blue are now 2-8 overall and 1-6 in CCIW play.
