Both Andrea and Micah Goyao won with a 6-1, 6-0 score, while MacLachlan was able to come away with a win in a hard-fought 4-6, 6-2, 10-4 match.

"Our team was able to dictate the tone of this match from start to finish, and I am very proud of the way we played," said Head Coach Jonathon Schmidt. "It was good to see the team show a sense of urgency this early in our season, and we look to continue this in our NACC matches this weekend."

Tennis will be busy over the next three days, as an exhibition match and two NACC conference matches are on the schedule. Benedictine will travel to Moraine Valley Community College for an exhibition tomorrow at 5:00 p.m. before traveling to Wisconsin for NACC matches at Marian University (10:00 a.m.) and Edgewood College (2:00 p.m.) on Saturday.
