The Binghamton men’s tennis team ended its America East tenure on top this weekend, defeating both Hartford and Stony Brook to capture its seventh-consecutive conference championship. BU has won 10 of its last 13 tournaments.

After dominating Hartford, 4-0, in the semifinal round, the Bearcats advanced to the finals, in which they swept the Seawolves. Juniors Florian van Kann and Ismael Dinia and sophomore Sid Hazarika captured singles victories for the Bearcats, while the pairings of sophomores Eliott Hureau and Janik Burri as well as Hazarika and Dinia won doubles matches in the championship round.

Unlike its previous six years, Binghamton’s season will end shy of the NCAA tournament. Due to NCAA rules, the America East conference winner is ineligible for the national tournament due to the conference’s few participants.

However, the Bearcats’ membership in the Mid-American Conference begins next fall, which will again give them the opportunity to secure a national championship berth.
