The Cougars got off to a good start in doubles and never looked back as they avenged a regular-season loss to Taylor in a 7-2 win at the MCC conference tournament. Impressive wins at #1 and #2 doubles put the Cougars in a strong position going into singles action.
Now the Cougars will play tomorrow against top-seeded Huntington at 9:00 in the final of the MCC tournament. The winner automatically qualifies for the NAIA tournament next May.
