The men’s tennis team kept up its spring momentum with a 4-2 upset over St. John’s on Friday. Despite its prior victory over the Red Storm, this was by no means a straight-forward win. The team had to deal with a multitude of challenges to pull out a victory, according to head coach Silviu Tanasoiu. “We were in a very tough position,” Tanasoiu said.
Spring is a difficult time of year for tennis players. Time to leave the coddled embrace of indoor courts and go outside, where wind, sunlight and humidity all become significant factors in a match. For those who do not play tennis, this may not seem like a big deal, but there are significant challenges this adjustment process brings. The men’s tennis team seems to be adjusting well, starting off its first match outdoors with a 7-0 victory over Binghamton. “A very good first match outdoors,” said head coach Silviu Tanasoiu.
