Lincoln, Neb.– The University of Minnesota tennis program (4-4 overall, 0-0 Big Ten) fell 4-0 to Nebraska (7-1 overall, 0-0 Big Ten) Sunday afternoon at Sid and Hazel Dillon Tennis Center in Lincoln, Neb.

In the first position, Zoey Weil and Zeyneb Sarioglan were defeated 2-6 by Huskers pairing Samantha Alicea and Raphaelle Lacasse, claiming the first point with the win.
