Freshman Guillermo Garcia won his singles match, 4-6, 7-6, 6-4, against senior Nick Borak and Lukas Linden-Malmberg won his match, defeating freshman Jeremy Chung, 6-1, 6-4. Freshman John Rutkowski added the fifth win, beating freshman Allen Thornes 6-3, 5-7, 7-6.
The Bonnies took two out of three in doubles play for their sixth point. Junior pair Blanco and Martinez won their match, as they set down Fordham’s Cosmai and Thornes pair, 6-0. Then, freshman duo Rutkowski and Garcia won their match narrowly, 7-6, against Borak and Joseph Kavaloski.
With the win, the Bonnies record improved to 5-8. St. Bonaventure will play next on Friday March 10, at home against Colgate.
