Men's tennis opens MAC play with a win over Binghamton

DeKALB — NIU men’s tennis was victorious on Sunday in its first match of Mid-American Conference play against the Binghamton University Bearcats.

Overcoming two early losses to Binghamton, the Huskies rallied to record five straight singles victories, overcoming their initial struggles to finish the day with a final score of 5-2.

Sunday’s first match was a doubles loss for NIU, as Binghamton senior Kushaan Nath and junior Alejandro Pena scored a 6-2 win.

NIU was unfortunately forced to forfeit the doubles point, fielding only 5 competitors on the day due to sickness of several members of the roster.
