Courtney Lauss (Washington, Ill./HS) made it a clean sweep by taking a 6-1, 6-2 decision in the sixth singles match.
Thomas and Lauss posted an 8-0 shutout in doubles play for Eureka's first point of the day. Natalie Wetterauer and Fandel tallied an 8-3 win in the second doubles contest, with Alyssa Wetterauer and Lynch winning the No. 1 doubles match 8-4.
