MARION, Ind. - No. 19 Indiana Wesleyan women's tennis moved to 8-0 on the year with a 6-1 victory over Huntington University. The Wildcats swept the doubles, only giving up 1 game in three sets. In singles, Huntington came out quickly and put IWU behind a set at #1. Once France Antezana righted the ship, the rest of the team fell in line and IWU quickly turned matches around. The team played a few tough matches and found a way to win at 1-5 before losing the final match in Sarah Harmelink's first collegiate match.
