From the Head Coach

"It was a very satisfying Saturday against Niagara, as both the men and the women carried over their hard work in practice against their MAAC opponent," Director of Tennis Gary Sussman said. "The men were coming off a tough win against the Citadel, and were just outstanding in all phases of singles and doubles. The women had a disappointing loss at home to Providence on Tuesday, but were very focused this evening, and were able to hold off a very determined Niagara team."
