QUEENS, N.Y.- The St. John's men's tennis team defeated BIG EAST foe Marquette in a nail-biter, 4-3, at the on-campus tennis courts on Saturday afternoon.
The Johnnies (14-4) easily grabbed the doubles point against the Golden Eagles. The dynamic duo of Axel Vila Antuna and Ignacio Garcia cruised to a 6-2 win on the no. 1 court while the no. 3 pair of Vlad Vasilache and Carl Gustavsson did not drop a game on the way to a 6-0 victory to give the Red Storm early one-point lead.
In singles play, St. John's took three out of six matches, all in straight sets, to add the three points needed for the win.
