EVANSTON, Ill. — No. 24 northwestern dominated Maryland on Friday afternoon as the Wildcats did not drop a single set en route to a 7-0 victory at Combe Tennis Center.

Inci Ogut won at No. 6 singles, 7-5, 1-2 (retired) for the sixth point and then Rheeya Doshi capped the sweep with a 6-1, 7-6 (7-4) win at No. 5.
