Men's Tennis Triumphs over Ducks

Patrick Whitner won his singles and doubles matches against Stevens.

In its first match since March 28, the New York University men's tennis team notched its fourth-straight victory with a 7-2 win over the Stevens Institute of Technology Ducks on Wednesday.

After a slow start in the doubles competition, the Violets (6-6) rebounded and swept all of the singles matches in straight sets. Freshman Patrick Whitner and sophomore Alex Stoler claimed the lone doubles point for NYU by defeating their opponents 8-5 in the #2 match.  The pair also secured victories in their respective singles matches. 
 
“It's been hard with the weather lately,” explained head coach Horace Choy, “but the guys rebounded and played well.”
 
Seniors Craig Berger and Calvin Chou won at #2 and #3 singles.  Berger improved his singles record to 10-6 and Chou evened his at 8-8. 
 
The other two singles victories went to Jason Sacher and Eugene Tsarevskiywho defeated their opponents 6-4, 6-3 and 6-4, 7-5, respectively. 
 
Stoler and Chou added their names to another impressive list as the University Athletic Association announced the Spring Sport All-Academic honorees on April 8. P.J. Marranca also received the same accolade. 
 
NYU travels to Rochester, NY, on Friday to compete in the University Athletic Association (UAA) Championships.  As the #6 seed, the Violets draw the #3-seeded Carnegie Mellon University Tartans in their opening match on Friday afternoon.
