Men’s Tennis Squeaked Out at Sacred Heart

Martinez, Acri and Breen earn wins in singles play

In a long match that featured four singles matches that went the distance and a doubles match that was decided in a tie breaker, the Siena Men's Tennis team was squeaked out at Sacred Heart 4-3 at the Tennis Club of Trumbull on Saturday night. 
 
Oscar Martinez, Maxwell Acri and Dylan Breen all picked up wins in singles competition for a second consecutive day.
 
"It was a very close match with a future conference opponent," said Siena men's tennis coach John Chiaramonte.

"We had great comebacks from Max [Acri] and Dylan [Breen]."
 
Playing from the number three position, Acri dropped the opening set 2-6 to junior Antoine Hernandez only to come roaring back to take each of the next two sets by identical scores of 6-2, 6-2. 
 
Breen played from the No. 5 spot and found himself in a similar predicament after falling behind with a 3-6 setback to sophomore Arya Alla in the first set. 

Breen buckled down and rallied to win the last two sets by the scores of 6-4, 6-4. 
 
Martinez won in straight sets 6-4, 7-5 against junior Matyas Vencl. 
 
The Saints dropped two other singles matches in a deciding third set and a tie-breaker in doubles play. 
 
Next up, the Saints (2-7) host Buffalo (3-4) this Saturday at Tri-City Fitness in Latham.
