Tigers Advance in ECAC Championship Opener
February 16, 2018 | Men's Tennis
It's on to the semifinals of the ECAC Championship for the Princeton men's tennis team.
The fourth-seeded Tigers defeated fifth-seeded Yale 4-0 Friday morning and will face top-seeded Dartmouth at noon Saturday back at Yale. The match can be seen on the Ivy League Network here.
"I was very pleased with the way we competed and the way we focused throughout the lineup," Princeton coach Billy Pate said. "We played with energy and intensity in every position, which certainly helped us gain momentum in doubles and singles. Very solid effort today and that's what we need to build on as we'll have another challenge tomorrow."
Princeton began by taking the first two doubles matches off court and then adding singles wins from Kial Kaiser, Diego Vives and Davey Roberts to reach the clinching fourth point.
