ROCKFORD, Ill. - The Green Bay men's tennis team faced Northern Illinois Friday afternoon, dropping a 6-1 decision to its non-conference foe at the Boylan Tennis Center. Matt Clegg posted Green Bay's lone victory on the day, a straight-set win at No. 3 singles. After a 6-4 win in the first set, Clegg rallied with a 6-1 score in the second set. A pair of Phoenix netters forced third-set tiebreakers, but could not get the upper hand. John Brough came back after a 6-4 loss in the first set with a 7-6 effort in the second set in No. 5 singles, but Northern Illinois' Matt Hansen won the tiebreaker. At No. 6 singles, Eric Plaushines also rallied after a first-set setback, but could not hold on in a 6-4, 3-6, 1-0 loss. Northern Illinois, in their first action since Feb. 14, swept all three doubles matches for the first point of the match.
