STOWE, Vt. - The Norwich University men's tennis team extended its undefeated streak against Vermont State University Johnson to 17 straight victories, rolling past the Badgers in a 9-0 sweep at the Topnotch Tennis Academy on Wednesday afternoon.

In doubles, the pairings of Terrance Bayly-Henshaw (Scottsville, N.Y.) and Jaxson Redmond (Kennebunkport, Maine), and Keagan Bakke (Gun Barrel City, Texas) and Gabe Wettig (Ballston Spa, N.Y.), each blanked their opponents with 8-0 victories at the No. 1 and No. 2 spots.  Thomas Riddick (Clayton, N.C.) and Stephen Hartigan (Tyngsboro, Mass.) secured the third win with an 8-1 decision at No. 3 doubles.

The Cadets maintained their strong play in singles, with Wettig, Riddick, and Ethan Teluk (Manlius, N.Y.) each earning decisive victories.  Meanwhile, Brandon Adamson (Londonderry, N.H.), Aerielle Harris (Las Vegas, Nev.), and Hayden Frazer (Deerfield, Wis.) all battled through competitive sets to secure their first wins of the season, sealing the clean sweep for Norwich.

With the victory, Norwich remains undefeated against VTSU Johnson dating back to 2012, earning their 17th-straight victory over the Badgers since a 7-2 win on Apr. 12, 2012.
