WEST CHESTER, Pa. - The Bloomsburg University men's tennis team won all three doubles matches and then the first three singles matches to take care of West Chester University, 6-3, on Sunday afternoon for its third consecutive victory. The Huskies improved to 4-5 overall and 2-0 in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) standings while the Golden Rams dropped to 1-10 overall and 0-4 in league play.

While all three doubles matches were competitive, the Huskies were able to sweep doubles action to take a 3-0 lead into singles play. Seniors Gerard Puig and Steve Williams teamed up for the most lopsided win in doubles with a decision at #1 over West Chester's Norman Patten and Lucas von der Heyde.

In singles, Williams gave the Huskies a 4-0 advantage with a 6-0, 6-4 win at #4 over Keanu Travelino. Sophomore Pedro Andari then clinched the Bloomsburg win with a 6-3, 6-2 win at #5 over Aidan Henken. Freshman Christian Cioffi posted the Huskies' final win of the day at #6 - a 6-3, 6-3 victory over Kylil Curry.

West Chester won the other three singles matches in straight sets but the damage had already been done.

The Huskies will return to the courts on Friday, April 7 when they host Mercyhurst University at the Burt Reese Tennis Center. Start time is scheduled for 4:00 p.m.
