HANOVER PARK, Ill. -- Two-time defending champion Augustana, under the direction of head coach Jon Miedema, sits a top the team standings after the second day of the 2017 College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin (CCIW) Women's Tennis Championship at Centre Court Athletic Club.

The Vikings lead in championship points with 54, followed by Wheaton (51), Carthage (21), Carroll (16), Millikin (14), Elmhurst (8), Illinois Wesleyan (6), North Central (2) and North Park (2).

Augustana will have a representative in all six singles and all three doubles championship matches on Saturday. The Vikings will face Wheaton in five of the six singles flights and all three doubles flights.

Beginning this season, the CCIW champion will be determined using a combination of points earned in the regular-season dual meet standings and the CCIW championship standings.
 
Teams were awarded points for where they finished in the CCIW regular season standings, taking into account only conference matches. Heading into the 2017 championship, first place Augustana received 9 points, followed by Wheaton (8 points), Carthage (7 points), Carroll (6 points), Millikin (5 points), Elmhurst (3.5 points), Illinois Wesleyan (3.5 points), North Park (1.5 points) and North Central (1.5 points).

Upon completion of the 2017 championship on Saturday, teams will be awarded points for where they finish in the conference championship (9 points for first, 8 for second, etc.). Those championship standing points will then be doubled and added to the points received for the finish in the regular season standings. Those combined points will determine the champion. Visit here for a detailed explanation of the new scoring criteria.

The top four teams will advance to the 2018 CCIW Women's Tennis Automatic Qualifier Tournament to be held this spring. The winner of that tournament will earned the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Division III Women's Tennis Championship.
