EVANSTON, Ill. - Despite the absence of former Big Ten Player of the Year Katherine Nasser, the 11th-ranked Northwestern University women's tennis team rolled to a 7-0 win Sunday at Michigan State.
The Wildcats improved to 9-1 (2-0 Big Ten) while the Spartans fell to 1-6 (0-2 Big Ten).
Northwestern got off to a good start Sunday, winning all three doubles matches (including the No. 3 match by default) to gain the first point of the day.
