EVANSTON, Ill. -- Northwestern's contingent got off to a solid start on the opening day of competition of the Wildcat Invite on Friday.

Rain throughout the morning forced both rounds of doubles play to take place indoors at Combe Tennis Center. All four of NU's doubles teams posted a perfect 2-0 record on the day as the duos of Maddie Lipp/Alex Chatt, Lee Or/Erin Larner, Rheeya Doshi/Brooke Rischbieth and Jillian Rooney/Nina Van Oost all advance to the semifinal round in their respective draws.

Northwestern was nearly perfect in singles action as well outdoors at Vandy Christie Tennis Center during the afternoon. Doshi, Lipp, Or, Rischbieth, Rooney and Van Oost each defeated their opponent while Chatt advanced via default.

Day Two of action of the Wildcat Invitational gets underway at 9 a.m. Saturday.
