Tennis: ‘Cats can’t down Michigan in BTT, set for match against UCLA in NCAA Round of 64

Any progress is better than no progress…right?

Northwestern’s men’s tennis team, for the life of it, can not seem to best the University of Michigan. The only upside is that the squad’s margin of defeat shrinks each time they take on the Maize and Blue.

For the ‘Cats, who had a first-round bye, the Big Ten tournament started this past Friday with a quarterfinal game against Wisconsin. A hefty win there moved them onto a semifinal battle against the Wolverines — the third duel between the two squads this year.

Northwestern, ranked No. 26 by the ITA, has experienced near-unprecedented levels of success within the program this season.
