Maroons men's tennis shuts out Augustana and Luther 9-0

MOLINE, Ill. – The University of Chicago men's tennis team defeated Augustana College and Luther College by identical 9-0 scores on Sunday.

The No. 30-ranked Maroons improved to 3-1 on the season while the Vikings fell to 4-3 and the Norse dropped 5-2.

UChicago did not drop a set in any of its 12 singles matches and also swept through the six doubles matches on the day. Nine team members earned victories on the day. Freshman Sven Kranz, freshman Max Hawkins, senior Zsolt Szabo and sophomore Gordon Zhang all went 2-0 in both singles and doubles action.

"We played well today as a team," said Head Coach Jay Tee. "It's always great to bring nine players on a trip and have all nine contribute with wins. We took a step forward today as we competed hard at each spot and were able to win all of our matches without dropping a set. From here on out, our schedule really toughens up and we will need to continue to improve."
