FLUSHING, N.Y. - The Sarah Lawrence men's tennis team fell on Saturday as the team wrapped up a busy week against John Jay at the USTA National Tennis Center. The Gryphons fell 2-5 despite a win at the top doubles flight, a sixth-singles win and a marathon victory at third doubles.

In doubles play, the Gryphons took a victory at the top flight thanks to a strong showing from Jules Voorhoeve and Leon Bronshvag, who defeated John Jay's top pair by a score of 6-4. In second doubles, Avery Romano-Villani and Benjamin Berkson fell 1-6 before the team forfeited third doubles. After claiming the doubles point, the Bloodhounds got revenge for the first-doubles victory with wins at the top two singles flights, first defeating Voorhoeves 7-5, 6-2 before downing Bronshvag 6-2, 6-1. Romano-Villani fought back in the third flight, rallying from a 4-6 defeat for a 6-4 second-set win and a 7-5 win to claim the victory. Berkson fell in fourth singles after a 6-0 opening-set victory before Conner Wood wrapped up singles play for SLC with a 6-4, 6-4 victory in the fifth flight.
