Chargers complete undefeated road trip with 4-1 victory over Illinois-Springfield

Box Score The Hillsdale College women's tennis team completed an undefeated weekend on the road on Sunday, taking down host Illinois-Springfield in a convincing 4-1 victory.

The Chargers swept the doubles point against the Prairie Stars, led by the No. 1 doubles team of sophomore Ane Dannhauser and senior Courtney Rittel, who took a 6-3 victory over UIS. Hillsdale's No. 2 doubles team of senior Libby McGivern and freshman Briana Rees also took a 7-5 win over the Prairie Stars to complete the sweep.

In singles play, Hillsdale quickly got the wins it needed to clinch the match. Dannhauser continued to shine in singles play, rolling past UIS' Carmen Llopis Fabra 7-5, 6-3, and Rees also took a 6-3, 6-0 victory over UIS' Niamh Grogan. Those two wins, coupled with a win by default for Megan Hackman at No. 6 singles, gave Hillsdale the victory.

The Chargers are off to a strong start in the month of February, with a 5-2 record so far. Next up for Hillsdale is one of the biggest tests on their schedule, as the Chargers welcome the top team in the Midwest Region and the 14th-ranked team in the country, Wayne State, to the Biermann Athletic Center for a match on Friday.
