Binghamton picks up 4-3 decision after ITA lineup protest rules in favor of the Bearcats

Box Score LATHAM, N.Y. (binghamtonbearcats.com) - Binghamton Men's Tennis (4-5, 1-1) earned 4-3 decision to Siena, Friday night inside Tri-City Fitness.

The Saints initially claimed the match victory, Feb. 15, but due to a lineup protest by the Bearcats, the Intercolliegate Tennis Association (ITA) ruled in Binghamton's favor and awarded the team the win, Feb. 20. Since all individual matches were played in good faith, individual results will stand.

HOW IT HAPPENED
Despite a Bearcat victory in the first slot, the Saints took an early 1-0 lead with wins at second and third doubles.

Andre Ajed and William Morais Binnie gave Binghamton a 2-1 advantage after dominant victories at No. 4 and No. 2 singles, respectively. Siena registered a win at first singles before Filipe Costa brought the Bearcats to a 3-2 lead with a 7-5, 6-2 victory in the third slot.

The Saints clinched the 4-3 team decision with three-set wins at fifth and sixth singles. Zubin Omar saved three match points against Siena's Emilio Zavala Salinas in the No. 6 slot but ultimately fell, 7-6 (2), 6-7 (4), 4-6.
