The New York University men's tennis team opened its spring season with a 6-3 win over Haverford College on Saturday, February 25, in Haverford, PA.
In doubles play, the Violets won two matches with senior Umberto Setter and freshman
Zeb Zheng picking up an 8-6 victory in #1 doubles, and junior
Samuel Khoshbin and freshman
Michael Li picking up an 8-7 win in #2 doubles.
In singles play, NYU earned wins from sophomore
Benedict Teoh (6-2, 6-1), Setter (6-2, 6-0) and senior
Matt DeMichiel (6-3, 6-1), respectively, in #1-3 singles, and a win from sophomore
Yanik Parsch (6-2, 7-5) in #6 singles.
"It's good to get the first win out of the way," said NYU Head Coach
