A season after posting 20+ wins for the fourth-straight year, a program-best 10-1 Big Ten record and a fifth NCAA Tournament appearance in as many years, Arvid Swan knew it would be hard for his team to get even better in the 2016-17 campaign.
With his Wildcats rolling to a 9-0 start and top-10 ranking nationally, it’s fair to say Swan should be surprised with how his team has played so far. Following a 3-0 weekend — with wins over Boise State, Harvard and Duke at the Combe Tennis Center — No. 9 Northwestern is perfect on the young season, and hasn’t shown signs of slowing down.
