Colgate Head Coach Bobby Pennington
(on weekend)
"This was an extremely quality field with Buffalo and Binghamton as the top two teams in the MAC and Duquesne a quality Atlantic 10 team. Out of my 10 years here, this was one of our most productive invites as we combined to win 30 matches.

"MVP goes to Noah Rosenblat who won his entire flight against 4 quality players. It was vintage Colgate Tennis, with the guys playing with ton of energy, having a lot of fun, and maximizing their ability."
