PATCHOGUE, N.Y. – The Yeshiva University men's tennis team earned a convincing Skyline victory over St. Joseph's College Long Island, 8-1, at the SJC Outdoor Field Complex on Sunday afternoon. Thanks to the win, Yeshiva clinches a spot in the Skyline Conference Championships.

First-year player Amram Wahnon and classmate Meir Melamed cruised to a win at No. 2 doubles, 8-1. Wahnon earned the victory at No. 2 singles, 6-0, 6-1. Melamed dominated his No. 5 singles flight by winning both sets, 6-1.

Junior Alexander Kalb and sophomore Jonathan Kestenbaum won eight out of nine games at No. 3 doubles. Kalb returned to win at the third singles position, 6-1, 6-0.
