WASHINGTON - Jonah Fliegelman (Philadelphia, Pa. / Central) took home two singles victories and pushed his winning streak to 11 as he helped the AU men's tennis team capture two tough wins, one over Boston College (5-2) and one over Patriot League foes, Army (4-3).

Playing in the No. 4 position against Army, Fliegelman defeated C. Fisher, 6-4, 6-3. Against Boston College, he moved up to the third position and defeated Kieren Laughlin, 7-5, 6-2.

Against Army, the Eagles took home two of the three doubles victories and three singles victories. Tushar Garg (Mumbai, India / Bradenton Academy) defeated Rafael Albornoz in the second singles spot, 5-7, 6-2, 6-4, while at the top position of doubles, he and partner Andreas Kulcsar (Nuremberg, Germany/Neues Gum. Nuremberg) fell to John Sabia and Albornoz, 8-6.

Against Boston College the Eagles once again took home the doubles point by winning two of the three matches. Guillaume Tarralle (Paris, France / French International School) and Juancarlo Vazquez (San Juan, Puerto Rico/Centre Educativo de Superior Vocational/Saint John’s) defeated Paul Colohan and Ross Pytko, 8-4 at the No. 2 position, while Fliegelman and Jason Harris (Pacific Palisades, Calif./Crossroads) defeated Soma Kesthely and Derick Chou in a close 9-7 at No. 3.

In singles, Tarralle fell to Justin Slottery at No. 1, in a heartbreaking 5-7, 6-3, 11-9 match that went into a superbreaker set due to the sun going down. Harris also was forced into a superbreaker set in the No. 6 position, but emerged victorious, defeating Colohan, 5-7, 6-3, 11-8.

The Eagles are now 7-4 overall and 2-0 in the Patriot League. They will next face Bucknell, April 3.
