Head Coach Bobby Pennington
"The men got off to a tough start on day one losing multiple three set heartbreaking marathons. They bounced back and won a lot of matches on days two and three. Kudos to Alter/Rosenblat for getting all the way to the semifinals in doubles. This was a high level field with premier programs in the Northeast in Binghamton, Buffalo and NJIT. The men more than held their own exhibiting their signature swagger, energy and fight, maximizing their ability. We very much look forward to the Patriot League Shootout at Lehigh in a couple weeks."
