EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. - Lauren Spears and Elizabeth Brunsman both won singles matches and also teamed for a victory at No. 2 doubles Saturday afternoon as the Northern Kentucky University women’s tennis team captured its third consecutive Great Lakes Valley Conference title with a 5-1 victory over the University of Southern Indiana. NKU, which also won GLVC titles in 1998 and ’99, improved to 13-1 this fall. NKU has now won 38 consecutive matches against GLVC opponents, and the Norse have not lost to a conference team since the 1997 season.
