EVANSTON, Ill. – Northwestern's women's tennis team battled hard to defeat No. 22 Washington, winning, 4-3, before defeating Milwaukee, 7-0, Saturday at Combe Tennis Center.

However, the Huskies got an upset win at No. 1, leaving the doubles point to be decided by the match at No. 3. Sophomore Julie Byrne and junior Rheeya Doshi rallied back from a 4-1 deficit to force a tiebreak, but eventually fell as the guests took a 1-0 lead.

Senior Erin Larner at No. 2 had a no-contest first set against No. 36 Vanessa Wong, easily winning, 6-1. Larner fought hard for the second set and went on to win it in a tiebreak, 7-6 (2), for the upset win that tied the match at 3-3.
The match came down to a decisive match at No. 4 between first-year Inci Ogut and enadi Hance. With Ogut taking the first set 7-5, the two battled for set two as well, Hance ultimately taking it in a tiebreaker. However, Ogut managed to take the third set, 6-4, giving the Wildcats the hard-fought victory.
The 'Cats then hosted Milwaukee in the nightcap, rolling to a 7-0 win.
