Men’s tennis set for three weekend matches
The Binghamton University men’s tennis team is set to tackle three matchups this weekend, starting with a scheduled 12:30 p.m. matchup with host Duquesne University on Friday.
Next, the Bearcats (3-5) are scheduled to take on Robert Morris University at 6 p.m. Friday before playing at Lehigh University at 2 p.m. on Saturday.
Both Duquesne (10-2) and Lehigh (6-1) are currently riding six-game win streaks, while Robert Morris (3-4) is in the middle of a four-game losing streak.
After losing three consecutive matches, the Bearcats picked up a crucial victory last Monday against Lafayette College, 6-1, at Penn State’s Indoor Tennis Center. Binghamton dominated the match, taking five out of six single matches and all three of the doubles matches, all in straight sets.
After starting the season 0-2, the Bearcats have a chance to rise above .500 this weekend.
Women’s tennis heads to Cornell
Cornell University is next on tap for the Binghamton University women’s tennis team, which will take on the Big Red this Sunday.
The Bearcats (3-4) will be anchored by senior standout Jillian Santos, who was named Female Tennis Player of the Week by the America East after recording her 80th career victory in BU’s match against Albany last weekend.
Action is set to begin at 1 p.m.
