UIC will face Northwestern for the second time in nine days on Sunday in Evanston. The Wildcats came away with a 4-0 win last weekend, part of a four-match skid the Flames will be attempting to break.
Northwestern has risen to #23 in the national rankings. First serve from the Combe Tennis Center will be at 5:30. A live stream and live scoring will be available.
Last Time Out
Flames to Watch
- Strandberg and Parlklo are undefeated since being paired together in the #1 doubles flight.
- Dos Santos climbed to within one match of the .500 mark with his singles win at Marquette.
- Johan Hedstrom has been UIC's #2 singles player the last two matches. Nonetheless, he faced off against Northwestern's top rated and nationally-ranked singles player, Dominik Stary, as the Wildcats shuffled their lineup in their second match of the day last Saturday.
Scouting the Wildcats
- Northwestern has been idle since topping the Flames on a day that also saw them defeat then-#7 Columbia.
- Stary is now the 70th ranked singles player in the nation.
- A busy weekend for the Wildcats is on tap. They will face Illinois Saturday, and they will play Notre Dame on Sunday right before squaring off with the Flames.
