Wisconsin cruises to 7-0 win over Chicago State

MADISON, Wis. – The Wisconsin men's tennis team looked calm, cool and collected in its mid-week primer match against Chicago State that previews an incredibly tough weekend ahead. The Cardinal and White squad jet-packed to a 7-0 win over the Cougars.

Make it 3-0 on the year in doubles for a Wisconsin team that, on paper, should lack experience and talent in the match-opening segment.

The Badgers collected the doubles point behind efforts from junior Chase Colton and sophomore Robert Krill who handily beat Chicago State's Gonzalo Martinez and Cody Wurzelbacher, 6-2. The German tandem of freshman Lenard Soha and sophomore Jesper Freimuth were right on their heels, earning a victory over George Botha and Nick Liddy, 6-3.

The young gun, freshman Daniel Nuzhny, earned his first win as a Badger with a convincing straight-set win over Wurzelbacher at the No. 6-spot, 6-2, 6-2.

Up Next: Wisconsin welcomes Oklahoma State to Madison on Saturday before taking on Washington Sunday. The Badgers and Cowboys play at noon on Saturday while the battle of UW's starts at 11 a.m. on Sunday.
