BINGHAMTON, N.Y. - Visiting Cornell, ranked No. 50 in the country, captured the doubles point before rattling off all six singles wins en route to a 7-0 victory over Binghamton Saturday night at the Binghamton Tennis Center. It was BU's sixth consecutive match against a nationally-ranked opponent.
"We came ready to compete today but we missed some key deuce points and break opportunities and then we didn't do a good enough job of responding to that adversity," head coach Nick Zieziula said. "We've got to work to remain positive, staying focused on what we can do in the present tense and not worry about the outcome."The Bearcats (2-10) head to Queens on Friday to face St. John's.
