The third doubles team of freshman Erin Kwaske (Jackson, Mich./Western) and junior Kaylynne Goeglein (Fremont, Ind./Fremont) fought hard, but were unable to take the match, falling 8-5.
The singles matches were just as close for the Lady Thunder, but only Huhnke was able to secure a victory as she easily won at first singles 6-0, 6-1.
