Bonnies Wrap Up The Navy Blue Invite

ANNAPOLIS, Md. – The men's tennis team wrapped up its season-opening weekend on Sunday morning at the Navy Blue Invite against Binghamton.

Playing out of the No. 5 singles slot, sophomore Javier Ortiz was blanked in the first set, but responded to defeat Ruben Haggai, 0-6, 6-4, 1-0 (10-6), to earn the lone SBU win of the match.

The invite did not count toward a team's overall record; however, individual matches did count toward a player's record.

The match against the Bearcats was the third in as many days for the Bonnies, who faced Temple on Saturday for the first time since April 2006.

Against the Owls, freshman Trevor Haskell picked up his first collegiate win as he teamed with Ortiz at No. 3 doubles to defeat Stanislav Stekolshikov and Li Tang, 9-7. Luis Guevara picked up the lone SBU singles win of the match as he downed Stekolshikov, 7-6 (7-4), 7-5.

The Bonnies will have the next couple weeks off as they will next take to the court on Sept. 30-Oct. 2 when they host the SBU Fall Invite.
