UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Indiana men's tennis closed the 2011 regular season on Sunday, knocking off Penn State 6-1 to close the season with a 9-1 record in Big Ten play.

With his win at number three singles, Josh MacTaggart moved to 9-1 in Big Ten play this season, as did Stephen Vogl at number five singles. MacTaggart took down Russell Bader by a 6-1, 6-3 tally, and Vogl knocked off Chris Hasyn 6-1, 7-6.
Santiago Gruter and Jeremy Langer moved to 9-1 in Big Ten doubles play, knocking off Russell Bader and Eddie Bourchier at number one doubles by an 8-5 score.
The Hoosiers got singles wins from Gruter at number two (def. Jason Lee 6-4, 2-6, 6-3), Isade Juneau at number four (def. Bryan Welnetz 6-2, 6-1) and Dimitrije Tasic at number six (def. Harry Seaborn 6-4, 6-3).
