“Four wins out of four, for example” NYT Mini Crossword Difficulty Index

This is one of two sports scoring cues and was a pretty simple solution for me. Sweep is a very common term to indicate that a team was perfect in their execution and did not make many mistakes or lose a match to their opponents. However, if you don’t like sports, this might be a more difficult clue to solve. So I would give it a three out of five for difficulty.
