UNW had a mixed bag of results in doubles action to kick off play for the day.  The team's first two pairings had a tough go of it, but the duo of Colton Paskewitz (Browerville, Minn/Staples) and Matthew Wedin (Litchfield, Minn./Litchfield Senior), competing at the no. 3 spot, won handily in an 8-1 decision. 

Northwestern then faced some tough competition in singles play, outlasting their opponents in two of the six matches played.  The freshman, Wedin, picked up his second win of the day in a match that went the distance (1-6, 6-0, 10-6) at the five position and Isaac Velgersdyk (Savage, Minn./Southwest Christian) picked up a victory (6-3, 6-0) at no. 6.

The Eagles will return to the courts Saturday the 23rd, when they take on Wartburg College at the Baseline Tennis Center on the University of Minnesota campus.  Fans can head to unweagles.com to stay up to date with UNW Men's Tennis.
