Lincoln - The Nebraska women's tennis team improved to 14-2 on the year with a 7-0 sweep over Kansas State on Friday afternoon at the Nebraska Tennis Center. The Huskers also ran their Big 12 record to 3-0 with the win over the Wildcats, and have swept all three Big 12 opponents 7-0.

Madeleine Geibert made quick work of her opponent at No. 2 singles, beating KSU's Nina Sertic 6-0, 6-0 to give the Huskers their first singles point. Jennifer Holmberg made it 3-0 Nebraska shortly after with a 6-3, 6-0 win at No. 6 singles over Petra Chuda.

Stefanie Weinstein, Wiveca Swarting and Mary Weatherholt finished their matches within minutes of each other, each winning in straight sets to extend the Husker lead to 6-0.
