Fairfield Tops Marist In MAAC Men's Tennis Final, 4-3

WEST WINDSOR, N.J. - The top-seeded Marist men's tennis team suffered a 4-3 loss to second-seeded Fairfield in the 2012 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Men's Tennis Championship final on Sunday at Mercer County Park.

Fairfield started the match by winning the doubles point, and the teams split the six singles matches. The final match decided was first singles, as Fairfield's Dan Sauter defeated Marist's Lorenzo Rossi (Lugano, Switzerland) in three sets, 4-6, 6-1, 6-4.

The Red Foxes' singles winners were senior Matt Himmelsbach (Longmeadow, Mass.) at number three, sophomore Will Reznek (Toronto, Canada) at fourth singles, and sophomore Dalen Klassen (St. Louis, Mo.) in the sixth spot.
