Storrs, Connecticut – The Quinnipiac men's tennis team put its undefeated record on the line when it traveled to face the UConn Huskies and remain perfect on the season by sweeping the Huskies, 7-0.
Quinnipiac did not drop a single match on the day as the Bobcats had the perfect sweep.
Starting the afternoon with doubles, the Bobcats sent Kei Ezaka (Ojai, California) and Jonas Kuwert (Jesteberg, Germany) to battle with UConn's Jacob Spreyer and Christopher Toner in the No. 1 doubles match. Ezaka and Kuwert came through with the win, 8-5.
In No. 2 doubles, it was Eric Ambrosio (Lloyd Harbor, New York) and Julian Rozenstein (Marlboro, New Jersey) who teamed up to take on Jonathon Edwards and Parker Goldstein and the Bobcats duo cruised to the victory, 8-2.
The final matchup in doubles took a tiebreak set to decide, but ultimately Quinnipiac's Luke Roser (Bernardsville, New Jersey) and Willem van Biezen (Warmond, The Netherlands) defeated Joshua Palmer and Zac McEntee, 8-7 (4).
Quinnipiac continued its winning ways in singles, winning every single match.
