After a dominant to the season, Northwestern tennis has crashed back down to earth.
The No. 13 Wildcats (10-4) began the 2017 campaign with a program-record 10 consecutive wins, but dropped all three of their matches at last weekend’s ITA National Team Indoor Championships. They lost their fourth-straight match on Friday against Notre Dame (8-3) in South Bend by a score of 4-2.
Northwestern dropped the doubles point — only their third doubles loss of the season — despite another win for the pairing of Strong Kirchheimer and Dominik Stary, who improved to 11-2 as a team.
