EVANSTON, Ill. - Only one Northwestern sporting event takes place on campus this weekend, as the Wildcat men's tennis team hosts No. 57 Indiana at the Combe Tennis Center Saturday.

The No. 50 Wildcats (8-3, 3-0 Big Ten) look to remain undefeated in conference play against the Hoosiers (6-3, 0-0). Last weekend's sweep of No. 60 Michigan State and No. 46 Michigan placed NU in prime position early in the conference season.

Indiana has not won a match on the road this year, while the 'Cats are 5-1 in the friendly confines of the new indoor tennis facility.

Head coach Paul Torricelli said he may shake up the ladder for Saturday's match. Last weekend saw freshman Tommy Hanus' (Palatine, Ill./Palatine) debut at the No. 1 singles position, while senior Jamie Sahara (Santa Maria, Calif./St. Joseph) is having success in the heart of the lineup and is currently on a four-match win streak.

Saturday's match gets underway at noon.
