QUEENS, N.Y. – The St. John's men's tennis team will play its first home match since March 6 when it takes on No. 75 Monmouth on Wednesday. First serve from the USTA National Tennis Center is set for 1 p.m.
The Red Storm (12-4, 1-0 BIG EAST) is coming off a 4-1 setback last Wednesday against Yale in West Haven, Conn. Armando Sotelo and Martin Bugaj earned a 6-4 victory on the No. 2 doubles court.
