Men's Tennis Earns Wins Over Susquehanna, Bard

| Box Score 2 MADISON, N.J. - The Drew University men's tennis team continued to roll, posting a Landmark Conference victory at Susquehanna University and a non-conference win over Bard College on Sunday.

The Rangers, who beat Susquehanna 7-2 and Bard 8-1, improved to 12-3 and 4-0 in Landmark Conference action and are now 8-1 since returning from their spring break trip to Hilton Head. In addition, Drew pushed its regular-season winning streak versus conference opponents to 13 and has now won 16 straight overall versus Landmark foes.

At Susquehanna, the Rangers opened the match by sweeping the three doubles matches. Junior Avi Perera and senior Bret Schuler won 8-5 at No. 1 while junior Leo Ambrogio and senior Dan Blumenthal captured an 8-6 decision at No. 2. Sophomore Santo Carroccia and junior John Dickey prevailed in a nailbiter at No. 3, winning 8-7 in a tiebreaker (7-2).

Perera was also a 6-1, 6-2 winner at No. 1 singles. But Drew did the bulk of its damage in singles at the bottom of the lineup, with Carroccia and Ambrogio winning by identical 6-2, 6-2 scores at Nos. 4-5 while Dickey notched a 6-1, 6-2 victory at No. 6.

Back in Madison, the Rangers jumped out to a 2-1 doubles lead, getting wins from senior Billy MacDonald and sophomore Jack Polvere at No. 1 (8-2) and senior Ben Dunlap and freshman Sergey Kravchenko at No. 2 (8-3). 

Drew went on to go 6-0 in singles play, with two Rangers grinding out three-set victories. Polvere (No. 1) and Kravchenko (No. 3) each rallied after dropping their opening set, with Polvere winning 3-6, 6-4, 10-5 and Kravchenko prevailing 3-6, 6-4, 10-3. MacDonald also won 6-1, 6-1 at No. 2 while Dunlap (6-1, 6-0), senior Brett Philip (6-0, 6-0), and freshman Owen Reynolds (6-1, 6-1) posted triumphs at Nos. 4-6, respectively.

The Rangers continue their schedule on Wednesday, when they host the University of Scranton at 4 p.m. in a rematch of last season's Landmark Conference championship match.
