For both the Marquette men’s and women’s tennis teams the weekend began with great promise, but ended in disappointment.

On Friday, the men’s team swept South Dakota State 7-0 and the women’s team defeated Illinois-Chicago 6-1 in home matches. Following the match the men headed to Indiana where they fell to No. 53 Indiana 4-1 Saturday and 5-0 to VCU on Sunday. The women lost to Wisconsin, 5-2, at home Sunday.

The men’s team had a hectic weekend of traveling to Indiana overnight was all part of a plan.
