Last Time Out: The Brewers took a tough loss against No. 25 Skidmore College in a Liberty League matchup on their home courts Feb. 20. The men lost the match, 6-3, but never lost their drive as they picked up multiple victories even after the Thoroughbreds had clinched the match.

A Look At The University of Rochester Yellowjackets: The Yellowjackets have had a rocky start to their spring season, picking up only one win against D-I Colgate University, which won the match, 6-1. They closed the gap a bit more in their Spring Opener against Ithaca College, but still dropped the competition, 5-4. They did, however, end their fall season on a high note, knocking off D-II Robertson Wesleyan College in a 7-2 decision.

Previous Meeting: The Brewers and the Yellowjackets haven't met in two seasons. Their most recent competition was in March 2014, when they battled it out at Pamona College. The Yellowjackets came out on top, besting the Brewers by a 6-3 margin.

A Look At The RIT Tigers: The Tigers have yet to compete this spring after participating in the St. Lawrence Fall Classic and the ITA Tournament At Vassar in the fall. They'll immediately jump into conference play when they face Vassar on Sunday. 

Previous Meeting: The Brewers and Tigers most recently competed April 29, 2015, when Vassar came out with a dominating 9-0 shutout. 

Liberty League Honors: Vassar men's tennis made a splash in the Liberty League last week, qualifying for multiple honors, which were released Monday. Freshman Nick Lee earned Liberty League Rookie of the Week and senior Daniel Cooper earned Singles Performer of the Week.

Third Time's the Charm: The Liberty League Preseason Poll has Vassar men's tennis slated for the No. 3 spot in the Liberty League. Only Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Skidmore College are ahead of the Brewers. 

Looking Ahead: The Vassar men's tennis team stays on the road to face New York University in New York City on Sunday, March 6 at 12 p.m.
