EVANSTON, Ill. – Northwestern swept through a Sunday doubleheader with shutout wins at home over Indiana and IUPUI.
The 12th-ranked Wildcats stepped outside for the first time at home this season in the afternoon match vs. Big Ten foe Indiana and cruised past the Hoosiers, 4-0. Chicago's Big Ten Team went back indoors for the nightcap and won by the same score against the visiting Jaguars.
Northwestern improved to 17-2 (3-0).
The Wildcats struck first in doubles play in both matches on Sunday, as they have done for much of the 2016 season. Northwestern has won the first point of the match in 16 of 19 matches. The 'Cats are a perfect 16-0 when they score first.
Fedor Baev and Strong Kirchheimer picked up a pair of wins in the first doubles position. In the afternoon match, the duo knocked off No. 78 Sam Monette and Daniel Bednarczyk by a 6-1 score. They then came out and won 6-2 over Bradley Luetschwager and Kyle Whittaker of IUPUI. Baev and Kirchheimer have won four matches in a row and are 10-4 in dual play.
Kirchheimer had a good day in singles play as well, winning both of his matches to move to 21-3 overall and 15-1 in duals.
Alp Horoz also won both of his singles matches for Northwestern. He won in straight sets at No. 5 against Indiana and again at No. 4 vs. IUPUI. Horoz outscored his opponents 24-8 on Sunday.
No. 42 Sam Shropshire played No. 1 for the Wildcats and picked up the match-clinching point against Indiana. He beat No. 50 Sam Monette in three sets to secure the Wildcat victory. He was then on match point to beat IUPUI's Jac Newis in straight sets, but was beaten to the match-clinching point by Horoz, so his match went unfinished. Shropshire improved to 8-4 in 2016 with his win over Monette.
Northwestern is back in action on Friday, April 1, when Wisconsin (13-1, 3-0) comes to Evanston for a 6 p.m. match at the Combe Tennis Center. The Wildcats will also host Minnesota and Northern Kentucky next Sunday in another doubleheader.
