BOSTON, MA (April 9, 2016) — The Vassar College men's tennis team split Sunday's double-header, falling at No. 32 Brandeis University 9-0 before coming out victorious at Emerson College 8-1. 

With that, the Brewers now hold a 7-11 overall record, the Brandeis Judges improve to 6-11 and the Emerson Lions fall to 5-2. 

At Emerson, the Brewers cruised through doubles. Evan Udine and Gray Thurstone put the Brewers on the board with a dominating 8-1 win at No. 2 doubles over Joshua Freud and Nik Rhodes. Jamie Anderson and Robin Drummond kept the momentum going with an 8-2 win at three over Matt Jepsky and Blake Greenawalt, while Juan Felipe Laso and Alexander Luckmann secured the sweep with a hard-fought 8-5 win at one over Antonio Ramirez and Daniel Okin. 

Taking a 3-0 lead into singles, Vassar continued to roll. Anderson picked up another win, this time a 6-0, 6-0 bagel at two over Okin. Rhodes picked up the Lions' lone victory at three by retirement over Nick Lee, 6-3, 1-0. 

Alexander Luckmann clinched the team victory with a 6-0, 6-0 shutout at five over Greenawalt before the Brewers won the day's final matches. Laso came away with a 6-0, 6-3 win at one over Ramirez, Sha Huang notched a 6-2, 6-1 victory at four over Freud, and Thurston rounded the day with a 6-0, 6-0 bagel at six over Jepsky.

At Brandeis, the Brewers battled through doubles, but Jeff Cherkin and Michael Arguello beat Daniel Cooper and Nick Zuczek 8-3 at one, Danny Lubarsky and Jackson Kogan defeated Luckmann and Udine 8-5 at two, and Eric Goldberg and Brian Granoff topped Lee and Huang 8-2 at three. 

The Judges took a 3-0 lead into singles, but multiple Brewers posted points. Perhaps the competitions' most exciting match came at No. 1 singles between Cooper and Ryan Bunis. Cooper took the first 4-6 before falling 6-3 in the second and 10-5 in the super tiebreaker.
