Saints freshman Oscar Martinez added to his collection of singles wins on his 2023-2024 campaign, but the Siena Men's Tennis team lost a pair of hard-luck three-set matches in what became a 4-1 defeat at the hands of St. Bonaventure on Friday evening. 
 
The Saints (3-9) fought competitively in the doubles matches, dropping two by just two points, while Zino Varouhas-Poole and Maxwell Acri each pushed their matches to a deciding set. 
 
Martinez was elevated to the singles No. 1 position and topped Archie Graham 6-3, 4-6, 6-0 to improve to 13-6 overall in singles play this season.
 
"We had a lot of tough three-set matches," said Siena men's tennis coach John Chiaramonte.
 
"It was a great win for Oscar, stepping up at number one." 
 
The Bonnies improved to 7-9 on the season.
 
The Saints begin conference play on Saturday at 4 p.m. at Niagara (6-2, 1-0 MAAC). 
 
The Purple Eagles swept Mount St. Mary's last Saturday.
