#3 Men's Tennis Upended by #6 Assumption in NE10 Quarterfinals, 5-3

Garden City, N.Y. - The third-seeded Adelphi University men's tennis team was upset on Tuesday by the sixth-seeded Assumption College Greyhounds in the Northeast-10 Championship quarterfinals, 5-3.

Assumption took a 2-1 lead after doubles play, as seniors Chris Waung Marco Leung faced Matteo Cannavera and Uladzislau Litvinchuk at No. 1 doubles, and reversed the result from the regular season, winning 8-4. The Greyhounds recorded the same score at No. 2 doubles, while Connor Dove and David Robres de Vecia ensured Adelphi (9-5) one point in doubles with an 8-0 win at No. 3.

Though Cannavera and Robres dropped just a combined four games in four sets in singles, it was straight sets wins for the visitors at three other flights that sealed the win. Ryan Foster defeated Uladzislau Litvinchuk at No. 2 singles 6-4, 6-3 while Marco Leung claimed a 6-1, 7-5 win over Roey Heymann, before Danny Waung finished the match at No. 4 singles with a 6-4, 6-2 win over Sabin Adrian Savueluc, which led the Hounds to the 5-3 victory.
