INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Northern Kentucky University Norse men's tennis took on IU Indy on Saturday afternoon, looking for their first win in league play. The Norse again fell to a Horizon League opponent though, as they fell 6-1 in Indianapolis. 

NKU's first doubles pair of #36 Joao Pimenta and Mateus Ranciaro moved to 9-1 with their 6-2 victory. However, the Norse lost the doubles point as its second and third pairs dropped their matches.
