The Princeton men's tennis team completed a weekend sweep at the Jadwin Gym courts with a 4-3 victory over Manhattan College Sunday evening.
The Tigers, now 3-2 in the spring, first won the doubles point by winning all three matches. Both Sratha Saengsuwarn and Ashwat Sarohia at No. 2 and Darius Craton and Shannon Morales at No. 3 won easily, and Hans Plukas and Andrew Lieu won in a tiebreak after the point was already clinched. Princeton used strength at the top of its singles lineup to win the match. Saengsuwarn lost just two games in an victory over Erez Cohen at No. 2, while Craton lost the first set to Zoltan Bus but came from behind at No. 1, winning in a tiebreak in the third set.
The Tigers also got a win at No. 4 singles when Ashwat Sarohia, who had split sets with Peter Czink, won by default when Czink could not continue playing in the third set.
