Davis & Greco Get Doubles Win But Wildcats Fall At Queens

FLUSHING, N.Y.- The Daemen men's tennis team closed a three-day road trip with a 7-0 loss to perennial East Coast Conference powerhouse Queens (N.Y.) this after at the Queens College Tennis Center. 

The Wildcats, who will have covered more than 900 miles by the time they arrive back on campus this evening, dropped to 1-5 overall and 0-4 in conference play following today's setback. The three-time defending ECC champion Queens Knights evened their overall record at 4-4 while remaining unbeaten in conference play (3-0). It was Queens' third victory over Daemen this season - all coming in the last nine days. 

Hugo Evangelista and Francisco Gonzalez earned wins in both singles and doubles play to lead the Knights today. They teamed together for a 6-1 win on the No. 3 doubles court before earning their singles wins, Evangelista on the No. 4 court (6-4, 6-1) and Gonzalez on the No. 6 court (6-0, 6-0). 

The overall loss came despite another solid doubles outing from Daemen's Ben Davis (Rochester, N.Y.) and Sam Greco (Amherst, N.Y.). On the No. 1 doubles court, the Daemen duo bested Mariano Bibiloni and Kareem Rashad in a 6-4 match. Davis and Greco are now 4-2 as a pair this season, and today's win was their third against the highly-touted Knights. 

The Wildcats will be back in action with a pair of non-conference matches this week as they visit RIT (Wednesday, April 21) and Edinboro (Thursday, April 22).
