No. 41 Men’s Tennis upsets No. 22 TCNJ, 11-1

EWING, N.J. – The 41st-ranked Salisbury University men's tennis team dealt the 22nd-ranked Lions of The College of New Jersey their first loss of the season, coming away with a massive 6-3 victory on Saturday afternoon at the TCNJ Tennis Complex.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • The Sea Gulls started off on the right foot with two wins in doubles play. Caleb Brightman and Gurv Suri breezed through second doubles, 8-3. In third doubles, Aron Bursztyn and Mitchell Desman outlasted the Lions' Aayush Kishore and Asa Wong, 8-7 (7-4).
  • Salisbury then gutted out four three-set wins in singles play to secure the match. Brightman won third singles over Kishore (6-4, 1-6, 6-3), while Suri bounced back from a first-set defeat to take fourth singles against Alberto Thomas (2-6, 6-3, 6-3).
  • Gianluca Beaujon won a pair of sets in tiebreakers on the way to taking down Adrian Tsui in second singles, 7-6 (7-5), 5-7, 7-6 (7-4), for the clinching dub.
  • After two marathon sets in sixth singles, Bursztyn finally put away Brett Schuster, 7-6 (7-1), 6-7 (7-9), 10-5, to give the showdown its final margin.
