After squandering an opportunity to make a statement, the Binghamton men’s tennis team bounced back with a sweep.
The Bearcats (9-5), ranked No. 75 in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association rankings, fell, 5-0, to No. 27 Columbia on Saturday but defeated Fordham, 4-0, on Sunday.
Sophomore Eliott Hureau was the only Bearcat to win a set against Columbia. He went on to down Fordham junior Max Peara in straight sets, joining junior Ismael Dinia and freshman Thomas Caputo as singles victors against the Rams.
With freshmen Frenk Kote and Vihar Shah providing the most lopsided win — an 8-4 beatdown — Binghamton swept the doubles point against Fordham.
The Bearcats are scheduled to host Temple indoors on Friday. Play is set for 5 p.m. at the Binghamton Tennis Center.
