MARION, Ind. -- Indiana Wesleyan University women's tennis won another league tournament title on Saturday by defeating the No. 2-seed Marian (Ind.) University 6-3 at the Sutter Tennis Center.

The Crossroads League Tournament championship is the first one by that name as the Mid-Central College Conference changes its name this summer. Indiana Wesleyan has never lost the league's postseason tournament and no other program has won a conference championship since Indiana Wesleyan began competing in league play in 1992.

The Wildcats clinched the 17th straight perfect season during the fall schedule. IWU has not lost during the fall season since 1995 and has won 224 consecutive matches during that time.

Indiana Wesleyan also claims the Crossroads League automatic bid to the NAIA National Tournament. Heading into 2012-13, Indiana Wesleyan is one of four programs to have made the NAIA National Tournament every year since the tournament changed to a team format in 2000. IWU is the first of those four teams to clinch their 14th straight appearance. The national tournament will be held in Mobile, Alabama in May.

Indiana Wesleyan got off to a quick start on Saturday by winning all three doubles matches. Andrea Meyering and Lauren Wilson won 8-3 in No. 1-doubles, Katie Wilson and Kim Mella claimed an 8-2 victory in No. 2-doubles, and Rachael Heiniger and Kristen Futrell was victorious 8-3 in No. 3-doubles.

Lauren Wilson and Futrell were the first two Wildcats to win singles matches to clinch the tournament title. Wilson won 6-3, 6-3 in No. 4-singles while Futrell earned a 6-2, 7-6 win in No. 5-singles. Meyering eventually won a three set victory (4-6, 6-4, 6-2) in No. 3-singles.

Heiniger lost 6-7, 4-6 in the top match, Katie Wilson was defeated 2-6, 0-6 in No. 2-singles, and Mella dropped a three set contest (2-6, 6-3, 2-6) in No. 6-singles.

Indiana Wesleyan is done for the fall season with their perfect 15-0 record and will return to the courts in the spring.
