Jackson, Wis. - After dropping their conference opener to MSOE last Sunday 4-3 in heartbreaking fashion, the Illinois Tech men's tennis team was looking to erase the sting of that loss when they traveled to Jackson, Wisconsin to take on the Wisconsin Lutheran Warriors Sunday morning. The Hawks were able to do that and more, as they swept the Warriors 7-0. The Scarlet Hawks evened their Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference (NACC) record to 1-1 and improved to 5-8 overall. The Warriors remained winless on the season - 0-3 in conference and 0-9 overall.
