9/9 rundown: Wash U sweeps, Platteville gets back on track

First of all, I was at the UW Oshkosh Pizza Hut Classic all night, so I apologize for not having anything up sooner. Nothing outrageous happened on Day 1 in Oshkosh. Chicago’s defense and service pressure, and St. Norbert’s ball control stood out. I didn’t get to watch Oshkosh because the Titans played downstairs while three courts were going upstairs, but I heard UWO looked like a different team than the one that got swept by UW-Stevens Point earlier this week.
