NILES – After winning three out of the fourth singles flights, all visiting Edwardsburg needed to do was split in doubles competition.

And that’s exactly what the Eddies did in earning a 5-3 non-conference victory over Niles Thursday afternoon.

Edwardsburg defeated Niles at the second, third and fourth singles flights to take a commanding 3-1 lead in the match.

The Vikings’ lone victory came at No. 1 singles where Rachael Horn defeated defending Lakeland Conference champion Christina Boesler 6-2 and 6-3.

The Eddies picked up wins at No. 1 and No. 4 doubles to get the win.

The Vikings’ Meg Hein and Danielle Rothfuchs defeated Jamie Richardson and Hayley Jones at No. 2 doubles 3-6, 6-4 and 6-4, while at No. 3 doubles, the team of Taylor Glick and Abigail Stickney defeated Jacy Stachel and Nicole Nasco 6-4, 4-6 and 7-6.
