The No. 5 Washington University men’s tennis team won a pair of close matches, 5-4, over Division II No. 19 Northwest Missouri State University and No. 10 Graceland University over spring break. With these wins, the Bears overcame the biggest threats in recent memory to their four-year home winning streak. Sophomore Kareem Farah was the only Bears player to win both of his singles matches, but doubles play carried the team to victory in both matches. Wash. U. won two out of three doubles matches against Northwest Missouri State and swept all three doubles contests against Graceland. The Red and Green will take on No. 6 University of California, Santa Cruz on Friday in San Antonio, Texas.
