The men’s tennis team fell to 3-11 on the season after being swept by Division II Philadelphia University, 9-0, on Tuesday, April 16.

The Cavs lost all three doubles matches. The team of Kyle Burke and Josh Greenburg defeated the team of Ian Monson and Abui Santos, 8-3 in the lead doubles match. Anthony DiCicco and Sean Neary lost their doubles match, 8-5, against Chris Casamassima and Long Vo. Finally, Joe Halberr and Nate Krieger were swept, 8-0, in their match against Matthew Germani and Nail Rachidi.

In singles play, the Cavs were swept out again.

Monson played in the top match and fell to Ayman Barakat, 6-2 and 6-0.

DiCicco suffered the defeat to Rachidi in straight sets, 6-0 and 6-0.

Casamassima also swept his opponent, beating Santos, 6-0 and 6-0.

Vo also completed a sweep on in his singles match, defeating Krieger, 6-0 and 6-0 as well.

Neary held his own with Greenburg in the first set, falling 6-4, but wasn’t able to fight back in the second set, losing in straight sets, 6-1.

Finally, the last hope for the Cavs to win a match, or even a set in singles play, fell to his opponent as well. Halberr was also swept in his match, losing to Germani, 6-0 and 6-0.

The Cavs were playing their annual match against Philadelphia University, a trip into Division II play. The test of playing a Division II opponent is not to win the match but to see some tougher competition for their Division III and CSAC opponents.

The Cavs return to playing conference opponents in their next match on Friday, April 19, when they host Gwynedd-Mercy College. The match will be held on the Dixon Courts and start at 3:30 p.m.
