QUEENS, N.Y.Â -- After losing the doubles point early in the match, the St. John's men's tennis team rallied to come back and defeat the Yale Bulldogs, 4-3, at the Billie Jean National Tennis Center on Sunday, picking up the team's fifth-consecutive win.

Sophomore Robert Livi clinched the match for the Red Storm when he defeated Stefan Doehler in the second singles slot, 6-2, 4-6, 6-4.Â With the win, Livi tallied his ninth singles victory on the season, just two behind his teammate, Vaidik Munshaw, who earned his 11th singles victory with his three set win against Ziqi Wang 6-2, 0-6, 6-2.

The win marked the Red Storm's slimmest margin of victory this season.

The Red Storm looks to continue its hot streak when it takes on Marist on Wednesday.Â The last time the two teams met on March 20, 2014, St. John's swept the Red Foxes, 7-0.
