The Big Blue women's tennis team matched up against Carroll University in the opening round of the College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin Tournament on Thursday, April 20. Millikin picked up a 5-0 victory, downing the Pioneers to advance to the semifinal round on Friday, April 21.

In the first doubles match to be completed, Millikin's D Galvan and Nikol Obradovic were victorious over Sophia Dekker and Erin Horzewski at No. 2, winning 8-2. At No. 3, the team of Brianna Barconi and Emily Markus downed Kaitlin Brandl and Makayla Counsell, following suit with an 8-2 win. Rounding out the doubles sweep was the team of Alexandra Ristfeldt and Katarina Carlberg, who downed Maya Gaedtke and Madison Ostrander 8-3. 

On the singles side, Carlberg was the victor in twin 6-0 sets at No. 5 over Brandl, and Obradovic ended the match with her 6-0, 6-0 set victories at No. 1 over Dekker. 

With the win, the second seeded Big Blue move on to the semifinal round where they will meet third seeded Wheaton College. Wheaton opened their conference tournament with a 5-0 win over North Park.
