The Quinnipiac men’s tennis team is poised for a series of away matches as they prepare to travel to Maryland and New Jersey to compete against Mount St. Mary’s and Rider University. This marks their initial foray into MAAC play this season and they are eager to make a significant impact.
Their first destination is Mount St. Mary’s, where they will confront a formidable opponent with a current record of 6-10. Having secured victories over Morgan State, Howard, Oneonta, Bloomsburg, and Loyola, Mount St. Mary’s poses a significant challenge. However, Quinnipiac has a strong historical record against Mount St. Mary’s, holding an 8-1 lead since 2003. The Bobcats experienced their sole defeat in 2003, and they are determined to maintain their dominance in this upcoming matchup.
After their encounter at Mount St. Mary’s, the Bobcats will proceed to Rider University, where they will face a team currently holding a 3-14 record. Despite their challenging standing, Rider has managed to secure triumphs over Sacred Heart, Charleston, and Niagara, and they currently maintain a 1-0 record in the MAAC. Quinnipiac has a strong historical record against Rider, boasting an 8-1 lead since 2013. The Bobcats are focused on perpetuating this trend and securing another victory during their upcoming road trip.
In previous matches, the Bobcats have demonstrated their prowess with an impressive 2-0 record in MAAC play following victories over Siena and Marist. Their exceptional performances have not gone unnoticed, with senior Shaurya Sood being named MAAC Tennis Player of the Week after achieving a 2-0 record in the Bobcats’ triumph over Wesleyan. This accolade bolsters the team’s momentum as they approach their upcoming matches.
The Bobcats are eager to build upon their success and prolong their winning streak. Equipped with a robust returning roster and the addition of new talent, Quinnipiac men’s tennis is primed to leave a lasting impression in the forthcoming matches.
