KENOSHA, Wis. – The Carthage College women's tennis team dropped their College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin opener to Augustana College, 8-1, at Carthage's Smed Tennis Center Friday afternoon.
 
Carthage (2-1, 0-1 CCIW) was unable to get the late-set magic going in the double the competition, which they have relied on early this season, as Augustana (7-0, 3-0 CCIW) swept the Lady Reds doubles-squads, 8-4, 8-5 and 8-0 respectively.
 
It continued to be a tough day for the Lady Reds, as the Vikings controlled most of the singles competition, as Carthage's one through five singles players fell.
 
Carthage's lone victory Friday came as Kirsten Peterson topped Augustana's number six, Madeline Lombardi, 7-6, 7-6.
 
The Lady Reds will look to bounce-back in conference-play, Monday, September 21st, when the Lady Reds travel to Millikin University for a makeup date following last week's cancellation due to weather.  First serve is set for 4PM at Millikin's Fairview Park Tennis Center in Decatur, Ill.
