Box Score Glendale, Wis. - After taking it on the chin in their two non-conference matches, Illinois Tech women's tennis was looking to get off on the right foot when they opened conference play at MSOE on Tuesday night. The Scarlet Hawks accomplished their goal, as they opened the defense of their NACC title from last season with a convincing 6-0 sweep of the Raiders at Nicolet High School.

The match was called just after 10:00pm when rain arrived during the last remaining singles match between the Hawks' Martyna Kalinowska and MSOE's Sadie Dakay, forcing the number one singles match to be unfinished.

Illinois Tech is 1-2 overall and 1-0 in NACC play. The Raiders are 0-2 overall and 0-2 in conference.
