On Thursday, the girls made the trip up the Crystal Lake Blacktop to face the host McHenry Warriors, Coach Betts' alma mater. Facing one of the conference's toughest singles lineups, the Golden Eagles rose to the challenge. The doubles pairs got things started, sweeping competition for an early 4-0 lead. Ashley Kosy fought through late-match leg cramps to best McHenry's Brittany Goebel. Though Emily Halvorson fell at third singles, Rachael Buttolph came back from a deep hole for a three set win over one of the conference's favorites at second singles, junior Lauren Goebel, 1-6, 6-4, 6-3.

Jacobs is now 2-0 overall, with both wins coming in conference play.
