Two years ago, I stood in a DC bookstore and nervously followed a massive comeback in the MAC Men’s Tennis Final against Binghamton, capped off by a Sergio Arevalillo win at sixth singles that was itself a tremendous comeback.
Yesterday, I balanced a dying phone battery at a Nationals game and watched UB somehow pull off a more impressive comeback to defeat Western Michigan for their second title in three years. With the 4-3 win, again capped at sixth singles thanks to Ethan Nittolo’s 3-6, 7-6 (7-2), 7-6 (7-5) comeback, Buffalo finished a perfect MAC season and will learn Tuesday of their NCAA Tournament fate.
