Vagabond Bulls Split Matches Away From Home
UB’s men’s tennis team took its act on the road again over the weekend splitting a pair of matches. The Bulls traveled to St. Bonaventure to meet Bucknell on Saturday with UB prevailing, 6-1, over the Bison. However, it was the Bulls who were on the short end of the 6-1 margin the following day when they met Colgate in Hamilton. UB is now 3-2 overall.
No Problems With Bucknell
Against Bucknell, the Bulls had no trouble in posting the win.
 Yules Hadisubroto | UB opened play by claiming the doubles point with UB’s top duo of Yules Hadisubroto (Jakarta, Indonesia/SMUN 21) and Nikesh Singh Panthlia (George Town, Malaysia/BMK Penang Free School) earning the deciding point as they downed Ira Reibeisen and Asher Salam, 8-6. The Bulls needed to rally from a 4-1 deficit to take the match, winning seven of the final nine games. UB made quick work of the Bison in the singles competition as Singh Panthlia won a second-set tiebreaker over Salam at number two to clinch the fourth and deciding point. After winning the first set, 6-3, Singh Panthlia was forced into the tiebreaker, coming away with a 7-4 win to claim the set, 7-6, giving UB the four points needed for the victory.
Kennedy Earns Lone Win Against Colgate
Senior Matt Kennedy (Mississauga, Ontario/Erindale) was the lone Bull to come away with a victory on Sunday against Colgate.
 Matt Kennedy | Playing fourth singles, Kennedy scored a 6-3, 6-3 win over Marshall Wheeler. It was Kennedy’s second singles win of the weekend as he also defeated Bucknell’s Ryan Sandburg, at fifth singles on Saturday. Kennedy downed Sandburg, 8-5, in a pro-set match since the overall match with the Bison had already been decided before the pair took to the court. Kennedy is now 9-5 this season in singles.
Bulls Return Home for Doubleheader
The Bulls open the home slate this Friday with a day-night doubleheader at the Village Glen Tennis Center. At noon, the Bulls host perennial Mid-American Conference power Western Michigan. The Bulls then tangle with regional rival Cornell in the evening session, starting around 8:00 pm. Western Michigan and Cornell will meet at 4:00 pm.
