The Mustangs completed another sweep in RMAC competition Saturday afternoon to win the RMAC Tournament. Winning 5-0 over the MSU-Billings YellowJackets, the Mustangs will now wait to see if they will host the NCAA Regional, which is definitely possible with their no. 1 Central Region ranking.
If the Mustangs would host, the tournament would take place on Tuesday, May 3 in Silver City.
Emmanuel Mensah (Accra, Ghana, ITF Center Home, Mt. San Jacinto College) and
Johan Weich (Landskrona, Sweden, Filbornaskolan High School, Hope International University) earned one of the Mustang points Saturday in doubles and then ended the match quickly with their two wins in singles.
WNMU now holds a 17-5 record on the season.
