Box Score MADISON, Wis. – The Wisconsin men's tennis team (10-10 overall, 4-6 B1G) faced off against a very solid team in Northwestern (13-13, 4-6 B1G) on Friday afternoon at the Nielsen. The Badgers rolled the Cats to a 5-2 decision behind a spirited home crowd. 

Wisconsin clinched the doubles point yet again, moving to 15-5 on  the season in the doubles frame. 

Senior Osgar O'Hoisin did the best thing he could have done in front of his family that traveled to watch him play from Dublin, Ireland. O'Hoisin won in straight-sets over Northwestern's Dominik Stary, 7-6, 7-6 to give Wisconsin it's third tally of the match.

Freshman Jared Pratt clinched the match for the Cardinal and White, while Germans sophomore Jesper Freimuth and freshman Lenard Soha also secured wins. 
          
Westerman's Wing:
"It was a great team win. It all started with doubles. Everyone wants to play well at the end of the season and I really feel like we're playing our best tennis. It was great that Osgar could get that win at the No. 1 spot. He's had match point after match point. He's been leading us really well. (Alan) Sweet on the sideline too - one of the best Badgers you can find. He's tremendous. These guys bring it out of me and lift me up.

We want to play our best come postseason time. We have one more regular-season match. Osgar and Sweet are going to be fired up. We're going to be fired up. We want to take them home with a win." 

-Head coach Danny Westerman
