During the morning session the Panthers dominated all three doubles matches, as well as winning five out of the six singles matches to roll over NIU 6-1.
In the second dual UNI obliterated the SDSU 7-0. The Panthers lost only six games total in singles competition.
" I challenged the girls to come out strong today, we came out a little flat Saturday and we needed to be ready, and they did just that," head coach Sachin Kirtane said.
In the second straight day Meredith Esbeck defeated her opponent without losing a game.
Carolina Hannes went a perfect 4-0 on the weekend with wins on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Mariana Muraca was 3-0.
The Panthers stay perfect at 7-0. In all seven dual meets this season UNI has only lost five matches.
The Panthers are on the road next weekend in Des Moines, taking on Drake and Illinois-Chicago.
