From the Court

• "Overall, this was a great weekend of matches for our guys against two top teams in the region. We competed very well throughout some tough conditions these past two days and we are undoubtedly better prepared for the upcoming ITA weekend at Skidmore as a result. Each one of our guys stepped up in the high-pressure moments to pull out some big wins." - head coach Steve Gachko.

Up Next

• The fall season continues for men's tennis with the ITA Regional Championships, taking place at Skidmore College, Sept. 30-Oct. 2.
