SHEBOYGAN, Wis. - The Red Hawks rebounded tremendously from their opening season loss Wednesday, picking up their first victory of the season, a 9-0 win over Lakeland College.

Jamie Lichon defeated Lakeland's Linsay Crum in number one singles, 6-3, 6-4. She was joined in the win column by Mara Evans, who was the only Red Hawk to take their match to three sets, winning 4-6, 6-1, 6-4. Ripon's Arielle Denis, Chelsey Foster, Alecia Kiszonas, and Kate Dricken all disposed of their opponents easily, losing just four games in their eight combined sets.

Doubles play was more of the same for the Red Hawks, as none of the matches were ever really in doubt. Lichon and Evans won their doubles match 8-4. Kara Wagner and Meagan Sykes won their match in doubles play by the same margin, while Chelsey Foster and Kristine Jansen had an easier time, disposing of their opponent, 8-1.

The Red Hawks will try to keep that momentum going as they enter conference play on Saturday. Lake Forest will come to town, looking to play spoilers. The match will begin at 12:00.
