Wibler had a great weekend, going 2-0 in singles action to lead the Bulls to a pair of big wins over MAC leader Western Michigan and Northern Illinois. On Friday, Wibler defeated the Broncos 7-5, 7-5 at second singles and followed that up with a three-set thriller, winning 6-1, 6-7, 10-8 over the Huskies at second singles.

The Vaxjo, Sweden native is now 18-13 on the year in singles action, the most wins by a UB player this season.
