“We’ve lost to them I don’t even know how many times in a row, so we’ll definitely be looking forward to that match,” said sophomore Tim Noack of the No. 3 Washington University men’s tennis team before last Sunday’s matchup against Division II Drury University.

After some strong outings in the fall season, the Washington University men’s tennis team was ready to get its spring season started on Friday, and it showed on the court. The No. 3 Bears traveled across the river to Belleville, Ill., on Friday evening and put on a dominating effort, posting a clean 9-0 sweep of McKendree University at Kings Point Racket Club.

Freshman Hannah Buck fired a 6-over 78 in the second round of the McKendree Spring Invitational, her best round of the spring, for a 160 total. Buck also took home medalist honors, while the No. 13 Washington University women’s golf team took third overall. Wash. U., the only school from the NCAA, trailed Rend Lake College by just one stroke after the first round, despite a sluggish 343.
