Oneonta, NY - The SUNY Oneonta Men's Tennis Team hosted their first home match of the spring as neighbors SUNY Delhi came to open the Heissan Courts on the campus of SUNY Oneonta.  A very strong showing by the Red Dragons today resulted in a clean sweep of all contested courts 9-0.

At first doubles the team of freshman Noah Khair (New Delhi, INDIA/National Institute of Open Schooling) and junior Mason Spottek (Binghamton/Susquehanna Valley) were dominant in doubling up their opponents 8-4.  The second doubles team were also superior with attacking net play on route to their 8-2 triumph as juniors Jacob Dornsife (Wilmington, DE/Mt. Pleasant) and August Lepique came off the court as winners.  The third duo of junior 
Cole Kirschbaum (Bronx/Community High (NJ)) and sophomore Joshua Mann (East Greenbush/Columbia) were perfect as they tallied an 8-0 win.

A 3-0 lead in tow was insurmountable for the Broncos as the Oneonta men won handily on all six-courts contested in singles.  Dornsife got revenge from a match he played against his opponent last year when he lost today played superior tennis going on to a 6-2, 6-2 win.  Lepique, Spottek, Khair and Mann all went onto win in straight sets at the 2-5 positions losing only three-games amongst them.  At six singles sophomore Yonathan Glattman (Hewlett/Hewlett) also won in straight sets handily with a double bagel of his own 6-0, 6-0.
