A three-match win streak highlighted the break for the Binghamton men’s tennis team, which bookended its winning stretch with losses to No. 54 Yale on March 23 and UNC Greensboro on March 30. The Bearcats’ trio of wins came against St. Bonaventure, James Madison and Norfolk State.

Binghamton (8-9) opened the break with a 5-2 loss at Yale, which boasted a No. 52 national ranking at the time. After the Bulldogs swept doubles play, freshman Sid Hazarika and junior Ruben Haggai secured the Bearcats’ only wins. Binghamton rebounded later that day with a 7-0 sweep of the Bonnies to kick off its three-match win streak.

The Bearcats rolled past James Madison on March 27, grabbing the doubles point and five of six singles matches to knock off the Dukes, 6-1. Hazarika and sophomore Ismael Dinia both won their singles matches in straight sets.

Binghamton carried its momentum into the following day’s match against Norfolk State, picking up its second sweep of the break against the Spartans. But the Bearcats’ win streak was snapped the next day at UNC Greensboro, as BU surrendered the doubles point and four of its six singles matches in the 5-2 loss. Hazarika and Haggai picked up the Bearcats’ only singles wins on the day. Hazarika’s three-set win at No. 1 singles improved his record to 15-2 in singles play this spring.

Binghamton is set to host four matches, including a pair against conference rivals Stony Brook and Hartford, this weekend at the Bearcats Sports Complex. BU’s first match is scheduled for 9 a.m. Saturday against the Seawolves.
