Siena Men's Tennis got a boost from the back end of its singles lineup, but was unable to find consistent play in doubles and at the top part of its lineup in a 5-2 defeat at Quinnipiac on Saturday in MAAC matches. 
 
Siena (3-12, 0-3 MAAC) received wins from Dylan Breen at the No. 5 position and No. 6 position Duarte Melo.
 
"We started a little flat in doubles," said Siena men's tennis coach John Chiaramonte.
 
"This was a quick turnaround from last night. Credit to the guys for fighting in singles and Dylan and Duarte toughing out two wins."
 
Quinnipiac improved to 9-9 overall and 2-0 in MAAC play.
 
Next up, the Saints travel to play at Marist next Saturday, April 6 in MAAC play.
