Most of the Big Ten tennis teams were in action this week and there were some tight matches and disappointments along the way. Here are some of the highlights:
Michigan StateThe Spartan men dropped a 6-1decision to William & Mary on the Tribe's court in Williamsburg, Virginia. Michigan State's men then returned home to split a double-header, defeating Wright State and falling to Cleveland State. The Spartan women did defeat Cleveland and also beat Detroit, both with 6-1 scores.
Illinois
The Illini women had a tough weekend as they lost two close ones, but they were both to higher ranked teams. No. 26 Virginia defeated No. 33 Illinois 4-3, despite senior Megan Fudge commanding singles and doubles. It was the same 4-3 at 11th-ranked Tennessee.
