Men's Tennis | November 1

SOUTH BEND, Ind. – The Northern Illinois University men's tennis team wrapped up competition at the Notre Dame Hidden Duals on Sunday afternoon. The Huskies competed against Notre Dame and Columbia over the three-day event.

"The hidden duals provided a great opportunity for us to compete against some of the best opponents in the country," said head coach René Vidal. "Each player is different. For some, they gained confidence with singles victories; for others, areas of weakness were exposed that need to be improved."

Teams played two doubles matches and four singles matches over the weekend.

Saul Berdullas Calvino recorded two singles wins over Notre Dame, first defeating Nolan Balthazor 6-4, 6-4 on Friday and followed that with a 3-6, 6-4, 6-3 win over Nicholas Patrick on Saturday.

NIU pushed the Irish to the limit on Saturday in doubles play, but Notre Dame held on for a 7-6 (5) win in both matches.

On Sunday, Lorenzo Leti Messina secured a 6-4, 6-2 win over Andrew Kotzen of Columbia.
