NEW YORK - The Yeshiva University men's tennis team will begin the 2023 spring season on Sunday against SUNY Oneonta, at Edgewater Tennis Center, on Sunday. First serve is scheduled for 5:00 p.m.

The Maccabees advanced all the way to the Skyline Championship match the previous season, but fell short against Manhattanville College in the league title match at the GoValiants.com Tennis Courts by a score of 5-4.
