Augustana University Athletics

Senior Jenna Helleberg helped the Vikings with a dominate 4-0 performance this past weekend leading the Augustana women's tennis team to a 2-0 finish with a 9-0 victory over Sioux Falls on Friday followed by a 7-2 win over Gustavus Adolphus on Saturday night. The third-flight doubles tandem of Helleberg and Meredith Lawrence rolled to an 8-4 win for the 3-0 Viking lead to head into singles play. Helleberg then closed the door on the Cougars winning 6-1, 6-1 at No. 5 singles. Dating back to the 2010-11 season where Augustana was last in action with the Golden Gusties of Gustavus, the Vikings captured its first victory and first for head coach Marc Kurtz with a 7-2 win of Gustavus. Helleberg and Lawrence then gave the Vikings a 2-1 margin after doubles competition concluded with an 8-0 win in the No. 3 doubles match. Helleberg walked away victorious with 6-2, 6-1 wins at the No. 5 singles spots.
