"Overall the boys had a great weekend at the Binghamton invite. Big standout singles wins for Max, Tejas, and
Aidan Lee against Cornell. Mikey, John and
Ben Graham with massive wins over our rival Army.
"Some great doubles wins were highlighted by Caldwell/Fazli over Siena and Israel/Chung with a clutch win over Bucknell's No. 1 team.
"I was very proud of the boys for their fight this weekend. This was a loaded invite and we established ourselves early and competed at a very high level throughout the weekend.
"Our DDC (doubles, depth and culture) was on full display. The boys will look to keep it rolling next weekend at the Lehigh invite."
