HAMDEN, Conn. - The Quinnipiac men's tennis team was able to cruise past MAAC rival Fairfield, 6-1 on Wednesday, April 19 at the QU Outdoor Tennis Courts in the team's regular season home finale.
With the win, Quinnipiac improves to 10-9 (5-1 MAAC), while Fairfield falls to 6-13 (3-2 MAAC).

Kei Ezaka (Ojai, California), Patrick Cachapero (Loma Linda, California), Axel Stern (Tustin, California) and Kyle Alper (Dix Hills, New York) all earned two victories on the day as well.
The day began with the No. 2 doubles match, where Austin Yannone (Severna Park, Maryland) and Stern teamed up to defeat Ethan Ammon and Jeffrey Rodgers, 6-3. The win was the duo's 14th win of the season, which is tops on the team. Ezaka and Alper followed with a 6-4 win over Tyler Shibles and Dylan Appel to clinch the doubles point for the Bobcats. Quinnipiac clinched the doubles sweep after Rozenstein and Cachapero defeated Brad Orban and Anthony Caputo, 7-6 (3). After the three doubles wins, Quinnipiac now owns an impressive 17-1 record against MAAC competition in doubles play.
Quinnipiac capitalized on its 1-0 lead and added five wins in singles play. Stern gave the Bobcats a 2-0 lead after he swept Ammon in the No. 4 singles match, 6-2 and 6-1 in straight sets.
