Redbirds Defend Home Court, Defeat Drake 5-2 Saturday

BLOOMINGTON, Ill. – In their first conference home match of the spring, Illinois State (9-6) picked up a 5-2 win over Drake (8-7) Saturday afternoon at the Evergreen Racquet Club to remain perfect in MVC play and win their fifth straight home match this spring.

"Energy was great from the beginning and the focus was on par with how the past matches have gone against Drake," ISU head coach Maja Kovacek said. "We knew we would need that confidence and focus from the beginning to perform in every spot possible."

The Redbirds scored the first point of the day after securing two wins in the doubles competition.
