Northwestern men’s tennis mount comeback, defeat Texas Tech 5-2

Early on, Northwestern men’s tennis looked on course for another disappointing loss, but the team fought back from losing the doubles point to win 5-2 against Texas Tech on Sunday.

Northwestern (12-6), had lost six of its last seven contests heading into its final early-season non-conference matchup with unranked Texas Tech at home. After a dispiriting 4-1 loss to in-state rivals Illinois two days before, you would think Northwestern needed to start off well to defend home court against the Red Raiders. That did not happen, as Northwestern continued its disturbing trend of dropping the doubles point. Jolan Calieau and Carlos DiLaura defeated Strong Kirchheimer and Dominik Stary 7-5 at No.
