MADISON, Wis. -- The Wisconsin men's tennis team put up a tough fight on Friday before ultimately falling 5-2 in its dual match with Indiana at Nielsen Tennis Stadium.

At the second position, Lenard Soha and Jesper Freimuth had a strong 6-2 win over Indiana's Bennett Crane and Luka Vukovic. That put the Badgers' No. 1 doubles pair of Jared Pratt and Robin Parts in the deciding position.

Pratt picked up the lone singles win for the Badgers with his 6-1, 6-2 victory over Redding at No. 2 singles.
