GALESBURG, IL - Toledo (10-5) opened its three-match weekend with a win, sweeping Western Illinois (5-7) 7-0 at the Lakeside Tennis Center on Friday. From start to finish the Tigers were no match for the Rockets, as UT extended their win streak to three in a row.
Sophomores Tomas Stillman and Nicholas Wong led the way beating senior Patrick Hammers and junior Ben Yue 8-3 in the No. 1 doubles match of the day. Grant Adams/Francisco Stuardo and Bryant Dudzik/Ryan Jorgensen would follow suit overcoming their opponents 8-4 and 8-3, respectively.

Stuardo (6-3,6-1), Wong (6-3,6-2), Terence Weigand (6-3, 6-1), and Dudzik (6-1, 6-4) would each collect a point from their matches as well to clinch the overall win for Toledo.
