The record books for the 2022 Illini tennis were officially cracked open with the official start of dual season this past weekend. Preseason tournaments have passed, and the Illini presented their brand-new squads to the public with five matches at Atkins.
The women kicked things off Thursday by hosting the Harvard Crimson, and the young Illini side got off to a quick start and never looked back. The duo of Katie Duong and Megan Heuser sprinted to a 6-1 win over Duncan/Daujotaite on court 1, and Emily Casati/Kasia Treiber followed suit on 3, beating Huang/You by a similar score to give Illinois the early 1-0 advantage.
