Men's and Women's Tennis
The men’s and women’s tennis teams have begun
their respective spring seasons. Head Coach Mike Lucas is
in his first season coaching both squads and hoping for a
successful spring campaign. The women are coming off a school
record for wins during a 12-1 fall schedule, while the men
are looking to build on a 1-3 fall season. On the men’s
side, Robb Guido ’05 (Huntington, N.Y.) is having
a great start to the season, winning all four of his matches
at number five singles. Gerry Benedicto ’03 (Plainview,
N.Y.) is also having a solid spring with a 2-2 record at
number two singles. The Crusaders have compiled an overall
record of 2-2 this spring with wins coming against Lemoyne,
4-3, and the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, 5-2. They suffered
losses to Fairfield and Boston University. The men have also
had some success in doubles. The team of Mike Marano ’05 (St.
Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands) and Nick Casolaro ’05 (Reading,
Mass.) have won two matches, as has the tandem of Dave
Daepp ’04 (Glen Cove, N.Y.) and Colin Missett ’06 (Southington,
Conn.). The men have seven matches remaining on their schedule
against schools such as WPI, Quinnipiac, Fordham, New Hampshire
and Siena. The Crusaders are hoping to finish up the season
with a strong spring.
The women have yet to kick off their spring schedule because
of bad weather, but future matches include battles with Albany,
Fordham, New Hampshire, Siena, Rhode Island and Providence.
