Norton, Mass. - The Wheaton College women's tennis team moved one step closer to earning at least a share of its first regular season league crown by blanking visiting Clark University, 9-0 on Saturday during New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) play on the Clark Tennis Courts.

The 12th-ranked team in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association's (ITA) Northeast poll, the Lyons improved to 9-2 overall and 5-1 in the NEWMAC. They will head into their league finale on Tuesday at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) with a chance to clinch at least a share of the NEWMAC's regular season title. Clark fell to 2-10 and 0-6.

Clark will look to get back in the win column on Tuesday when it travels to NEWMAC rival Smith for a 4 p.m. start.
