Redbirds Clinch A Share Of MVC Title With 5-2 Win Over Drake

BLOOMINGTON, Ill. – Tied at 2-2 with the remaining three matches on the courts, it was either team's match Sunday between Illinois State and Drake at Bloomington Tennis & Turf. However, the Redbirds pulled out two three-set victories down the stretch and won the final three singles matches of the day to defeat the Bulldogs, 5-2, and secure at least a share of the Missouri Valley Conference regular-season title.

The regular-season championship is the second-straight for the Redbirds, who went undefeated in league play in 2019 and then won the MVC Tournament to advance to the NCAA Tournament.
