Last weekend, the Binghamton men’s tennis team sent two of its members, junior Eliott Hureau and sophomore Thomas Caputo, to the Ivy Plus Invitational, hosted by Princeton University. The event featured 128 players from 22 teams from across Division I.

The two opened play together as a double’s pair, defeating freshman Josh Pompan and junior Zach Lessen from the University of Pennsylvania, 8-4. That is as far as the pair would get together before dropping the next round, 8-2, to a pair from St. John’s University.

In singles play, both Hureau and Caputo found minimal success. Hureau dropped a pair of matches, initially falling to Princeton’s sophomore Joshua Yablon (6-1, 6-2) before he faced University of Miami’s senior Henrique Tsukamoto, to whom he lost in three sets (3-6, 6-1, 10-6). Caputo also fell in both of his contests, losing to Brown University freshman Aaron Sandberg (6-3, 6-4) before falling to University of Pennsylvania freshman Nicholai Westergaard (6-3, 6-3).

The entire men’s tennis team will return to action next weekend at the Penn Invitational hosted by the University of Pennsylvania. Play will begin at 10 a.m. at the Hamlin Tennis Courts.
