HILTON HEAD, S.C. – The College of Saint Benedict picked up its second win in South Carolina and fifth straight this season Wednesday afternoon when it defeated Baldwin-Wallace 8-1 in Hilton Head, S.C.

"Every match we play this year, we are getting better," head coach Michael Engdahl said. "I thought (Wednesday) was another example of that. When we get to conference play, confidence is going to be huge, and everyone should be feeling more and more confident after a win like this. (Thursday) may be the toughest match of the trip, and we will look to bring a ton of confidence from start to finish."
 
Saint Benedict (5-0) swept doubles play thanks in part to a BW forfeit at No. 3 doubles. Kayla McIver and Lily Fredericks teamed up to win 8-4 at No. 1 doubles, and the duo of Tessa Rahrick and Erin Kolbow won 8-2 at No. 2 doubles.
 
Rahrick won 6-1, 6-1 at No. 1 singles, and Baldwin-Wallace picked up its only win of the day at No. 2 singles. Fredericks fought for a 3-6, 6-0, 10-6 win at No. 3 singles, and Kolbow pushed through a tough first set to win 7-5, 6-1 at No. 4 singles. Mackenzie Schurhamer (6-1, 6-1) picked up a win at No. 5 singles, and Karsen Aune won by forfeit at No. 6.
 
CSB wraps up its South Carolina trip Thursday when it takes on Bridgewater College. The team is scheduled to return home Saturday.
