10 matches, 10 doubles points, 10 wins.
With its 6-1 win over N.C. State on Friday afternoon, Northwestern men’s tennis set a program record with its 10-0 start, blowing through another power-conference opponent. The Wildcats took down the Wolfpack at the J.W. Isenhour Tennis Center in Raleigh to surpass the 1989 team’s previous top start of 9-0.
The key to Northwestern’s success this season has been that of its doubles teams. The No. 2 team — Strong Kirchheimer and Dominik Stary — won its match against Nick Horton and Alexis Galarneau 6-3, to improve its record to 7-1 on the season.
