PURCHASE, NY - Picking up their second conference win of the season, the Yeshiva Men's Tennis Team took down Purchase College, topping the Panthers by a score of 6-1 on Friday, Mar. 27th.
 
The Maccabees started strong, winning two of three doubles matches to carry a 1-0 lead into singles play. The Macs kept on rolling in singles, taking five of six contests to secure a 6-1 dual match victory.
 
With the result, Yeshiva improves to 4-5, 2-1 in conference play.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
Doubles:

• The Maccabees came out on top in doubles play, picking up a 1-0 lead thanks to victories from the duos of Jacob Feit/Elan Goldstein (6-1), and Josh Zahavi/Jeremiah Schwartz (6-0).
   
• While the pair of Israel Bussu/Ethan Rolnick did fall by a score of 6-0 in the No. 1 match, the stumble was not enough to disrupt YU's momentum.

 
Singles:

• Yeshiva continued to roll in singles, with Bussu (6-2, 6-4), Rolnick (6-0, 6-1), Goldstein (6-3, 6-0), and Zahavi (6-1, 6-0) all took straight-set wins.
   
• Feit did fall in the No. 1 slot, 6-2, 6-3, but a three-set nailbiting 6-3, 6(5)-7(7), 10-7 victory from Jimmy Li in the No. 6 match locked down YU's 6-1 win.

 
UP NEXT
Playing one more game before the Passover break, the Macs will travel out to the University of Mount Saint Vincent on Sunday, Mar. 29th.
