EVANSTON, Ill. - Despite dropping the opening doubles point to Tulane Saturday, fifth-ranked Northwestern rallied to win five of six singles matches en route to a 5-2 overall victory in the Wildcats' final competition at the USTA/ITA National Team Indoor Championship.
Senior Andrea Yung (San Marino, Calif./San Marino) made her first appearance in the tournament, winning at the No. 6 position 6-4, 6-3 against Magas. The win moves Yung to 2-0 on the year.
