The Binghamton men’s tennis team could not shake its losing ways this weekend, extending its skid to six after falling to No. 47 Dartmouth and No. 61 Brown.

Binghamton (2-6, 0-2 Mid-American) captured just one individual victory against Dartmouth on Friday. Junior Sid Hazarika dropped the first set, 6-3, to the 93rd ranked player in the nation, Dartmouth’s senior Chris Kipouras, before fighting back to grab the next two, 6-2, and, 6-4, respectively.

“He’s really been focused in practice on staying patient with his patterns, and it’s showing in his matches,” Binghamton head coach Nick Zieziula said about his number one singles player, according to bubearcats.com.

Senior Robin Lesage and junior Eliott Hureau won their doubles match for the Bearcats, but BU was unable to take home the elusive doubles point after dropping the other two matches. Lesage jumped out to a one-set lead in his singles match-up with Dartmouth (6-4) freshman Ciro Riccardi, but was unable to close the match, dropping the next two sets.

“We still need to work on putting together a complete match through all doubles and all singles,” Zieziula said.

Binghamton was nearly able to do just that on Saturday, but Brown (7-2) was able to win close singles matches to down the Bearcats, 5-2, at the Manchester Athletic Club.

Hazarika and senior Ismael Dinia won their doubles match, but the Bearcats dropped the other two matches as Brown grabbed the doubles point.

Hureau earned a singles point for the Bearcats, winning the last two sets to seal an impressive comeback victory. After dropping the first set, Hureau easily won the second set, 6-2. The highly contested third set saw Hureau come up with the victory over Brown junior Ivan Kravtchenko after winning the tiebreaker, 7-3.

BU sophomore Frenk Kote also won a singles point for the Bearcats, defeating Brown freshman Aaron Sandberg 6-2, 4-6, 6-2. Despite close matches from sophomore Thomas Caputo and Hazarika, Kote and Hureau were the only Bearcats to emerge victorious in their singles matches.

“Today was the most complete match that we have played,” Zieziula said. “In order to beat ranked teams like Brown we need to capitalize on the first opportunity and not let them hang around.”

Binghamton is scheduled to return to action next weekend, when BU travels to Columbia on Friday before taking on Old Dominion on Sunday. First serve is set for 2 p.m. Friday at the Dick Savitt Tennis Center in New York.
