The Bearcats opened their 2026-27 men’s tennis season on Saturday afternoon with a 5-2 non-conference setback to the Vassar College Brewers in Poughkeepsie, New York.<\/p>\n

Vassar secured the opening doubles point by winning two of the three matches, but the\u00a0visiting Bearcats earned a strong victory at the top flight as the tandem of Juan Mendoza<\/a> and Samuel Park<\/a> battled to a 7-5 triumph at first doubles.<\/p>\n

Trailing 1-0 entering singles play, Baruch collected a pair of victories in tightly contested matches. At second singles, Park rallied after dropping the opening set to earn a three-set comeback win, 5-7, 6-3, 10-6. Ryan Huang<\/a> captured the Bearcats’ second point at fourth singles, prevailing in another hard-fought match, 7-6 (10-4), 0-6, 10-7.<\/p>\n

Despite the efforts from Park and Huang, the Brewers won four of the six singles matches to secure the 5-2 team victory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Story Links The Bearcats opened their 2026-27 men’s tennis season on Saturday afternoon with a 5-2…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":915088,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[565],"tags":[64,63,85,747],"class_list":["post-915087","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-sports","tag-tennis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/915087","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=915087"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/915087\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/915088"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=915087"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=915087"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=915087"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
