The men’s tennis team from Stevens Institute of Technology secured an impressive 5-4 victory over No. 46 Haverford in a thrilling match held on Friday afternoon, marking their first ranked win of the season. This achievement is particularly noteworthy as it signifies a remarkable comeback since their last triumph over Haverford during the previous season on February 25th.
The Ducks established early momentum by securing two victories in the doubles matches. Despite facing a loss on the first line, junior Vivek Harinarayan and senior Aashi Kulakrni emerged victorious on line two. Additionally, Samvid Andhare and Max-William Kanz achieved a resounding 8-2 win on the third line, laying a solid foundation for the intense battle in the singles matches.
Although Haverford secured wins in three of the singles matches, Stevens demonstrated their depth and resilience by emerging victorious on the final three lines. Kanz’s notable two-set victory on line four, Olof Persson’s thrilling three-set win on line five, and Andhare’s hard-fought three-set triumph ultimately led to the Ducks’ overall match victory.
This impressive performance has improved Stevens’ season record to 4-4 and extended their winning streak to three matches. The team now holds a 7-6 all-time record against Haverford, who fell to 5-4 after this match.
In the upcoming match scheduled for tomorrow at 10:00 a.m., the Ducks will face No. 11 Swarthmore. For further information and match highlights, fans can visit stevensducks.com to stay updated.
