Evanston, Ill. - The Northwestern men's tennis team took all nine matches from Oregon Sunday afternoon to finish off an impressive weekend in which they beat two ranked teams.

The Wildcats dropped just one set to the Ducks, as Josh Axler (Huntington, NY/Walt Whitman) needed three sets to defeat Jason Menke (1-6, 7-5, 6-3). Jackie Jenkins (College Park, Ga./Westlake), who has taken over the top position in the ladder, easily handled Oregon's Oded Teig, 6-4, 6-3.
