MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. - For the third straight week, the Hoosiers have knocked off a top-20 opponent, defeating No. 20 Minnesota 4-3. The win keeps the Hoosiers unbeaten in the Big Ten this season at 6-0. Much like in their win over Illinois, the Hoosiers battled back from losing the doubles point for the win. Number one player Jeremy Langer had a big day, remaining unbeaten in doubles with Santiago Gruter and taking the win in singles.

No. 108 Josh MacTaggart remained unbeaten at number three singles since Big Ten play began, taking down Ruddock easily, 6-1, 6-1. Stephen Vogl came through at number six to move to 5-1 in Big Ten singles action, taking out Juan Pablo Ramirez 6-2, 6-2.
Langer defeated Rok Bonin at number one by a 6-4, 7-5 final tally, and Isade Juneau closed it out with the win at number five. He moves to 5-1 in Big Ten play with a 7-6, 3-6, 6-1 win over Julian Dehn.
