From Washington University Athletics
Senior Tyler Kratky posted a straight-set singles win to become the 17th member of the Washington University's 100-win club as the No. 13 men's tennis team posted a 7-2 victory over No. 19 Gustavus Adolphus College Friday in San Antonio, Texas.
Kratky has compiled an overall record 100-50 in four seasons on the Danforth Campus – 61-28 in singles and 39-22 in doubles.
"It's definitely a good feeling to get the 100th win, but more importantly we started off our weekend with a decisive win over a top-ranked team," Kratky said. "We have a big month ahead of us and a lot of great opportunities to show all the tough work we have put in. Looking forward to bringing back some more wins to STL. Proud to be a Bear!"
WashU extended its winning streak to five matches and improved to 7-2, while Gustavus Adolphus lost its third-straight match and fell to 14-6.
