Coming off another strong season in 2024-25, the Drew University men's tennis will take aim at a Landmark Conference title once again this spring.
 
Under the direction of second-year Head Coach Geoffrey Diehl C'20, the Rangers are coming off a season in which they finished 12-9 and 7-2 in Landmark Conference play. The squad nearly captured the conference title as the No. 3 seed, as they were edged just 4-3 by top-seeded Goucher College in the final.
 
This season, the Rangers bring back a large portion of their team from a year ago, including a pair of All-Landmark Conference performers in senior Jesse Faro and junior Daniel Arcari.
 
Faro was a First-Team All-Landmark Conference selection in both singles and doubles last season. Competing at No. 1 singles, he finished 13-9 overall and 7-1 in Landmark Conference play a year ago, winning his last six conference matches in regular-season play. He also posted an 18-14 doubles record for the season, including a 7-2 mark in Landmark Conference action. Faro was also named the Landmark Conference Player of the Year in 2024.
 
Arcari also landed first-team all-conference recognition in doubles and was an honorable mention in singles. He posted an 8-8 record for the season while competing at No. 2 singles, including a 4-2 mark in conference play, and he also recorded an overall doubles record of 16-14, including a 5-2 conference mark.
 
Senior Shivi Perera also returns after a season in which he went 5-9 while splitting his time at Nos. 3-5 singles. One of the team's most experienced performers, he was also 6-11 in doubles, mostly at the No. 2 position, and was 5-2 in conference matches.
 
Also returning as regular starters from a year ago are junior Ty Gelijns and sophomore Nicolas Mobayed. Gelijns went 4-11 (4-4 in conference) while competing at Nos. 3-6 singles and was 13-11 (5-2 in conference) in doubles, mostly at the No. 3 slot. Mobayed went 7-6, including 4-1 in Landmark Conference matches, while playing at Nos. 2-4 singles. He also posted a 9-7 doubles record (3-1 in conference), mostly at the No. 2 spot.
 
Also returning this season are seniors Kiran Bhattacharya and Devan Sutaria and sophomores Cameron Longa and Pharell Longenbach.
 
Senior Kevin Cronin and freshman Joseph Hernandez will provide additional depth for the Rangers.
 
Drew opens the spring portion of its schedule on Friday, when it hosts Ithaca College at 7 p.m. The squad opens Landmark Conference play on March 21, when it visits Lycoming College.
