The New York University men's tennis team continued its campaign at the University Athletic Association (UAA) Championship with a 4–2 loss to Brandeis University on Friday, April 24, at Sanlando Park in Altamonte Springs, FL.

The Violets opened the match by claiming the doubles point, winning two of the three contests. 

At No. 2, the pair of Shido Ito and Jeh-Lei Fan earned a 6–4 victory, while the duo of Louis Frowein and Boris Slesarev also posted a 6–4 win at No. 3. The No. 1 tandem of Niklas von Hellens and Bryan Hui dropped a 6–3 decision.

In singles play, however, Brandeis rallied to secure the team win. 

At No. 3, Frowein was dominant, posting a 6–0, 6–0 victory. At No. 2, Hui battled through a three-set match, winning the second set but ultimately falling 6–0, 6–0, 6–3. Ito also fought through a tough three-set match at No. 4, but was unable to secure the point. At No. 1, von Hellens was in the middle of a competitive third set when Brandeis clinched the fourth point and the match was stopped.

"That was a tough one," said Head Coach Horace Choy. "The teams battled for over three hours and we came up short. We got the doubles point after Jeh-Lei and Shido battled back from 0-3 to win the set 6-4. In singles, we had a difficult time sustaining momentum."

NYU returns to action to play against the University of Rochester on Saturday, April 25, beginning at 8:30 AM.
