Senior Mackenzie Wills (Ada) tied the school record for career victories, leading the Ohio Northern women's tennis team to a 6-3 victory over Baldwin Wallace on Wednesday afternoon at the West Campus Courts.
The Polar Bears improve to 6-0 on the season and are 4-0 in Ohio Athletic Conference play, while the Yellow Jackets fall to 2-1, 2-1.
Wills won 6-1, 6-1 at No. 5 singles for her 172nd career win, tying the mark set by Meghan Letizia from 2012-16.
