The Johnnies are coming off of a successful weekend at the ITA Northeast Regional Championships in Philadelphia.

De Camelis was victorious in his first-round contest, eliminating Monmouth's Sergio Martinez, 6-2, 6-2. The freshman was successful in securing a bid into the main draw as he bounced Nathan Jose of Army West Point in straight sets, 6-3, 6-4, in his second-round qualifying tilt.
Seven members of the Red Storm competed in the 128-player main singles draw two weeks ago. Ignacio Garcia and Aditya Vashistha reached the Round of 32 in the main singles bracket, claiming three of the team's five total wins in the draw.
