EVANSTON, Ill. -- Riding a seven-match winning streak, fifth-ranked Northwestern looks to remain undefeated in Big Ten play Saturday when it hosts Indiana. First serve is set for 11 a.m. at Combe Tennis Center.
The Wildcats (10-3, 2-0 B1G) continued their climb in the national rankings this week thanks to a third win over a top-10 team last weekend. NU notched a 4-2 victory over then-No. 5 Georgia Tech last Friday and added a 4-0 win over Purdue on Saturday. The victory over the Boilermakers allowed Northwestern to remain undefeated against conference foes.
Saturday's match is NU's seventh at home over an eight-match span. Following the contest, the Wildcats have just three regular-season home matches remaining: vs. Rutgers (4/1), vs. Wisconsin (4/14) and vs. Minnesota (4/15).
Northwestern leads the all-time series with Indiana, 32-21. NU has won the last 26 matches against the Hoosiers, including all 25 matches played under head coach Claire Pollard. The 'Cats last lost a match to Indiana in 1998.
The Wildcats matched up with Indiana in Bloomington on April 9 of last season, and left with a convincing 7-0 win.
Indiana is 12-4 so far this season. Most recently, the Hoosiers fell to No. 6 Illinois, 6-1, last Saturday in Urbana.
Northwestern's lineup features the top-ranked doubles team in the nation in Maddie Lipp and Erin Larner. The duo of Alex Chatt and Lee Or is ranked No. 23 while Larner and Or are No. 46 when teamed with one another. In singles, Larner leads the way at No. 50 while Lipp is No. 58 and Or is No. 85.
