Men's Tennis Team Continues Winning Ways

NYU Rolls to 9-0 Victory over Ithaca

CJ Leong was one of three Violets to go 2-0 on Saturday.
The New York University men's tennis team earned its fourth consecutive victory by defeating Ithaca College 9-0 on Saturday, April 13, at the Stadium Tennis Center at Mill Pond in the Bronx, NY.

NYU (5-3) has earned three consecutive shutout wins and has combined to outscore its opponents 31-1 during its winning streak.

Steven Wu, CJ Leong and Aaron Meltzer all went 2-0 on the afternoon.  William Smithline, Ting Yee Lai and Bowen Xu all earned doubles victories, while James Dean, Sidd Thangirala and Alex Jacobs all contributed a singles victory.

“We continued with our strong play today,” said Head Coach Horace Choy. “Hopefully, we're peaking at the right time, as UAA Championship play is only two weeks away.”

The Violets return to action on Friday, April 19, when they travel to Poughkeepsie, NY, to take on Vassar College.
