On a day in which one of the best teams in program history was honored at the Crown Tennis Center, Northwestern men’s tennis played some of their best tennis of the season, easily dispatching Nebraska in a clean 7-0 sweep.
The Wildcats (16-7, 4-2 Big Ten) used a doubles point win — propelled by a 22-minute, 6-1 victory at No. 3 doubles — to cruise past the Cornhuskers (4-14, 0-6 Big Ten) in a match that was never in doubt. Doubles play was exciting, however, as the No. 42 ranked team of Sam Shropshire and Konrad Zieba won a tight 6-4 clinching set that was notable because it was Shropshire’s first action since March 3rd.
