LOUDONVILLE, N.Y.. \u2014 Mount St. Mary’s men’s tennis earned a hard-fought 4\u20133 victory over Siena in MAAC action to clinch a berth in the conference championships. The Mount improves to 8\u201311 overall and 5\u20132 in league play, while Siena falls to 8\u201310 (3\u20135 MAAC).<\/p>\n
Mount took control early by winning the doubles point. Stefanos Pournaropoulos<\/a> and Nikos Makris<\/a> secured a 7\u20135 (7\u20135) victory at No. 1, while Alexi Roy<\/a> and Ryan Wagner<\/a> added a 6\u20133 win at No. 2. The No. 3 match was left unfinished with Akarsh Gaonkar<\/a> and Luke Papayoanou<\/a> leading 6\u20135.<\/p>\n In singles, the Mount captured three matches to clinch the team win. Pournaropoulos delivered a strong performance at No. 1 with a 6\u20130, 7\u20135 victory, and Roy followed with a 6\u20132, 7\u20136 (7\u20134) win at No. 3. Nikos Makris<\/a> proved decisive at No. 5, rallying for a 6\u20133, 1\u20136, 6\u20134 win to secure the fourth point.<\/p>\n Siena picked up wins at Nos. 2, 4, and 6, but the Mount’s early doubles advantage and key singles victories held up in the tight contest.<\/p>\n With one regular season match remaining, the Mount controls its postseason positioning. A win at home against Rider on Monday at noon would clinch second place in the MAAC standings, while a loss would drop the Mount to fourth.<\/p>\n Mount St. Mary’s 4, Siena 3 Doubles Singles
