QUEENS, N.Y. - The St. John's men's tennis team (8-12) cruised to a 4-0 victory over Georgetown (3-8) at the National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows, N.Y. on Friday in a BIG EAST matchup. The win snapped a four-match losing streak for the Red Storm.
The contest was part of a doubleheader with the St. John's women's tennis team. The men took the courts at the NTC at approximately 10 a.m. to start the day.
The early kickoff was no problem for the Red Storm, which captured the opening point in three tightly contested doubles matches. The top pairing of Ognjen Trejgut and Luka Sucevic prevailed 6-4, and Alex Roszkowski and Roberto Livi scratched out a 7-6(4) victory in the No. 3 slot to give the Johnnies a 1-0 advantage heading into singles play.
St. John's had no problem in singles play, taking the first three matches to clinch the victory. Sucevic, Trejgut and Alan Nunez Aguilera all emerged victorious to propel the Red Storm to a win in its first BIG EAST matchup.
The final three singles matches went unfinished after the Johnnies nabbed their fourth point of the day. Georgetown has lost five matches in a row.
The quick victory helped the Johnnies go 2-0 on the day; the women's tennis team also defeated Georgetown in the tail end of the doubleheader.
With its trip up to Harvard cancelled this weekend, the Red Storm now has an eight-day layoff before its next match, a Saturday tilt against Yale at home.
