Owls defeat Quinnipiac

The Owls defeated Quinnipiac University 6-1 on Saturday at the Legacy Tennis Center.

Since losing to Belmont University 4-1 on Jan. 16, the Owls have won nine consecutive matches. During the streak, the Owls—who were without senior Santiago Canete because of a sickness—have won 81 percent of their singles and doubles matches.

“Belmont was kind of a fluke loss,” coach Steve Mauro said. “It was a double header. We didn’t play our strongest players against the team. Otherwise, I think we would have won pretty easily.”

Freshmen Florian Mayer, Uladzimir Dorash and Artem Kapshuk are members of the first recruiting class since Kraft has become the Athletic Director.
