Tennis: Men’s and Women’s teams round out conference play, both receive byes in Big Ten Tournament

Northwestern’s Men’s and Women’s Tennis teams wrapped up their Big Ten and non-conference slates over the last week-and-a-half, going 2-2 and 1-2 respectively.

The men’s side went down south on April 16 only to fall 4-1 to its in-state rival. Sophomore Presley Thieneman scored the team’s lone point against the Illini at the number four spot in straight sets. Particularly, Thieneman lacked the usual support from senior Steve Forman, ranked 30th in the country, who was upset at the number one spot by the Illini’s Hunter Heck, ranked 98th.

They then turned east and headed to Boston to play their final non-conference matchup of the season against the Harvard Crimson.
