Preyer Clinches 4-3 Men's Tennis Win Over Stony Brook
March 07, 2008 | Men's Tennis
Freshman Parker Preyer clinched the match for Princeton in his first dual-match appearance of the season to lead the No. 50 Princeton men's tennis team to a 4-3 victory over Stony Brook Friday afternoon at Jadwin Gym.
The Tigers (6-3) were challenged in singles after winning the doubles, but Preyer defeated Juan Carlos Cotto 6-1 and 6-4 at No. 6 to clinch the team match. The North Carolina native was one of three freshman playing singles for the Tigers on Friday.
Princeton also got an impressive singles win from Peter Capkovic at No. 1. He lost just two games, both in the second set, to Artem Baradach. At No. 2 singles, George Carpeni was challenged in the first set by Ivan Rummel but won that 7-5 and then closed the match out 6-1 in the second set.
The Tigers won the doubles point by winning at Nos. 1 and 3. Carpeni played with freshman Alex Faust at No. 1 and won by an 8-4 score.
Princeton next plays March 17 against San Diego State on a Spring Break trip to California.
