After getting back to the Round of 16 for the first time in five years, Northwestern (23-6) fell 4-0 to third-seeded Duke. But despite the disappointing (and somewhat anticlimactic) end to the season, 2018 was a successful year for Wildcat women’s tennis. Behind strong performances throughout the season from a veteran squad, Northwestern rebounded from a rough start to nab their first Big Ten trophy in four years, making the season a successful one. Erin Larner and Maddie Lipp still have the doubles tournament remaining, and Larner will participate in individual singles as well (both tournaments start next week).
