The Omaha duo of Scheglowski and Spiers posted a 3-0 weekend at the No. 3 doubles flight, collecting wins in three matches over three days. They opened with a 7-6 (3) victory over Southern Miss’s Eric Perkowski and Saheb Sodhi, a pair that finished the fall season ranked No. 46 nationally. The tandem followed with a 6-4 win against New Orleans’s Marius Gyllerup and Jacob Rouleau-Mailly before closing the weekend with another 6-4 victory over Nicholls State’s Mateo De Los Santos and Felipe Spagnuolo.
Wiese went unbeaten over the weekend from the No. 2 singles position for Omaha. The sophomore opened with a 6-3, 6-0 win over Lindenwood’s Michelle Trochez before defeating Saint Louis’s Fiorella Duran 6-4, 6-1, clinching the match win for the Mavericks. The victory extended her singles win streak to nine matches.
Li and Schulte went 2-0 in doubles play from the No. 1 position against Division I opponents for North Dakota. The duo opened with a 6-4 win over Nicholls State before cruising to a 6-1 victory against New Orleans, helping clinch the doubles point and an eventual 4-2 team win over the Privateers.
