Just like that, once-slumping Northwestern men’s tennis has won four of its last five matches and is above .500 in the Big Ten.
The Wildcats (14-6, 2-1 Big Ten), two days after notching their first Big Ten win with a home victory over Purdue, went to Bloomington on Sunday and beat Indiana (10-7, 1-2 Big Ten) by a score of 4-2.
A 6-3 win from No. 1 doubles team (ranked No. 55 nationally) Dominik Stary/Strong Kirchheimer and 6-2 win for No. 3 team Michael Lorenzini/Chris Ephron gave Northwestern the early doubles point.
In singles, Michael Lorenzini and Stary both lost in straight sets — to Zac Brodney and Matthew McCoy respectively — to give Indiana a 2-1 advantage, but national No.
