Soendergaard and Kiger posted a 3-0 record on the week, playing at the No. 3 spot. Last Monday, they won 6-2 in UNC's 7-0 win over Campbell. Against Drake on Saturday in the opening game of ITA Kick-Off Weekend play, they clinched the doubles point with a 7-5 victory and UNC went on to a 4-0 win. On Sunday against No. 17 Michigan, they were the only Tar Heel doubles team to win as UNC dropped the opening point for the first time this season.
