Tennis: As season winds down, level of play picks up

The regular season is almost over for Northwestern tennis, but there’s still plenty of action going on in mid-April.

The Northwestern men’s team has been on a tear as of late, currently holding an eight-match winning streak dating back to March 26. The streak, which started when the ‘Cats were just 10-7, has brought them to the No. 26 ranking in the country and the third seed in the Big Ten, behind only Michigan and Illinois. The last three games of the streak were a 4-3 victory over #45 Nebraska, a 4-1 victory against #51 Wisconsin, and a 4-0 sweep of unranked Illinois State.
