The Mustangs trotted over to Athena to take all three matches. The Mustang varsity made it look easy as they kenneled the Tiger-Scots, 15-6, 15-5.

The Heppner Mustangs' varsity net squad displayed a hint of their dominance as they defeated the Pilot Rock Rockets. 15-5, 15-4, on Tuesday, September 29, in both teams' Columbia Basin Conference debuts.
