Box Score

Brooklyn, NY --- The Brooklyn College Men's Tennis team concluded its 2012 regular season with a 7-2 victory over City University of New York Athletic Conference (CUNYAC) rival Lehman College earlier today at the Roosevelt Courts on the BC campus.

The Bulldogs conclude the regular season with a 4-11 overall record and a 2-5 mark in the CUNYAC; while the Lightning finish at 4-9 overall and 2-5 in conference play as well.

BC began the match with a 4-0 advantage, as the Lightning were forced to default all three doubles matches due to their late arrival, as well as #6 singles due to only having five players.

Leading the way for the Bulldogs were Matthew Micharlsen, Deshi Wu and Marvin Gill, who picked up wins at #1, #4 and #5 singles, respectively. Micharlsen won 6-4, 6-2, while Wu was victorious 6-0, 6-0 and Gill triumphed 6-1, 6-3.

Lehman's Cesar Andrade (6-2, 6-1) and Ben Cirilo (6-2, 6-2) took home the pair of wins for the Lightning at #2 and #3 singles, respectively.

“I'm proud of the way we came out and competed today,” said Head Coach Ahmad Odetalla. “Hopefully our current three-match winning streak will carry over to the postseason, as we prepare for the CUNYAC Championships.”

The Brooklyn win now creates a three-way tie for the #5 seed in the upcoming CUNYAC Championships with BC, Lehman and York College, as all three schools hold an identical 2-5 league record.

The championships will begin on Wednesday, April 25th with the Quarterfinals Round matchups. Continue to check www.BrooklynCollegeAthletics.com for information on BC's potential seed and first round opponent once it is released.
