In its first Mid-American Conference performance since being admitted to the league last season, the Binghamton men’s tennis team made its mark. The Bearcats placed four champions at the four-day MAC Indoor Invitational, hosted by Western Michigan University from Thursday through Saturday.
Kicking things off on Friday in the “Flight C” singles, senior Ismael Dinia edged out a fellow Bearcat in junior Eliott Hureau to take the crown in the flight. In Friday’s “Flight B” singles, senior Robin Lesage secured a win for BU, besting opponents from Buffalo and Northern Illinois along the way. Also victorious in singles play was sophomore Alex Sacher, who accumulated a 3-0 record in the round-robin “Flight F” round.
Saturday, in the “Flight A” doubles round, Dinia was back in the winner’s circle, this time alongside junior Sid Hazarika. The duo won, 8-3, against a pair from Toledo to bump BU’s win total on the weekend to four. The contest was BU’s last of the fall season.
