ST. PAUL – Head women's tennis coach Matt Swigart became the program's all-time winningest coach Saturday, as the University of Northwestern defeated the University of Minnesota-Duluth (6-3) and St. Catherine University (8-1). Swigart now has 75 career wins with the women's tennis program. UNW improves to 3-1 on the season with Saturday's victories.
