Men's Tennis Earns Sweep in Must-Win at Assumption, 7-0

Worcester, Mass. - At minimum, the Adelphi University men's tennis team has earned a bye into the semifinals of the 2023 NE10 Championship, following Saturday's 7-0 sweep of Assumption University in its regular-season conference finale in Worcester.

The Panthers can finish no lower than the No. 3 seed now, and will play in one of the championship semifinals on Thursday, April 20.

Additionally, the Brown and Gold have double-digit wins for the first time since the 2015-16 season, improving to 10-6 overall and 5-1 in NE10 matches.

All but one of the singles matches finished in straight sets. Henrique Souza -- in his first start of the spring -- provided the clinching point at No. 6 singles.

Marko Jovanovic and Gabriel Balestero dominated at No. 1 and No. 3 singles, respectively, to the tune of 6-0, 6-3 scorelines.

Jovanovic and Reece Farrow started to put the clamp on the team doubles point, winning 6-1 at the No. 3 flight. Thomas Horsley and Thiago Negrao followed with a 6-3 decision at second doubles.

Head Coach Rebecca Fakas and her Adelphi squad will celebrate Senior Day on Thursday (Apr. 13) against Hofstra University at 1 p.m. in Garden City, N.Y.
