The Lakeland University women's tennis won five matches at singles and two more at doubles to break through for its first dual match win in almost two years with a 7-2 defeat of Concordia University Chicago in a Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference dual match Saturday afternoon.

Carly Brault (Jr.-Brillion, Wis.), Rachel Conery (Jr.-Vulcan, Mich.), Ann Schroeder (So.-Lake Mills, Wis.) and Tyner Strawn (So.-Sheboygan, Wis.) all won at both singles and doubles and the Muskies snapped a 19-match streak without a win that dated back to 2014. Lakeland (1-3 overall, 1-2 NACC) for the first time in almost exactly two years, since a 5-4 defeat of Marian University on Sept. 12, 2014.

The ledger of wins included a near sweep in singles play. Schroeder posted a 6-2, 6-2 win over Nikki Ganze at No. 2 singles, and every flight after her won as well. Brault defeated Kaylyn Anderson 6-0, 6-4 at No. 3 singles, Mikayla Hilton (Sr.-Port Washington, Wis.) topped Hannah Gallup 6-1, 6-2 at No. 4 singles, Strawn topped Margaret Jones 6-1, 6-3 at No. 5 singles and Conery added a 6-1, 6-0 roll over Paige Brown at No. 6 singles.

Schroeder and Strawn also teamed up for an 8-5 win over Gallup and Anderson at No. 2 doubles, and Brault and Conery handled Brown and Jones 8-1 at No. 3 doubles.
