SCHENECTADY, NY – The University of Rochester men's tennis team closed out the regular season with a 7-2 road victory over Union College on Friday afternoon.
 
The victory pushes UR's record to 7-11 on the season, while the Dutchmen drop to 3-10 this season.
 
Two Yellowjackets were double-winners, with Masaru Fujimaki and Sahaj Somani each picking up a win in singles and doubles play.
 
Rochester opened the match with two wins in doubles.  The team of Somani and Mattias Hartveit got things started with an 8-1 win at #3 over Zach Kaplan and Del Schunk.  Fujimaki and his partner, Yifan Shen, followed with an 8-2 victory at #1 doubles over Union's brother duo of Austin and Max Egna.
 
The Dutchmen got their first point of the match at #2 doubles, when Ian Bank and David Bond won 8-6 over Rochester's Jun Yuminaga and Tanmay Thakkar.
 
In singles, Fujimaki earned his second win of the day at #1, making quick work of Schunk, posting a 6-2, 6-0 win.  Union's Max Egna topped Shen at #3 6-1, 6-0, to pull the Dutchmen back within one point overall, but that is all the hosts would get on the night as Rochester ended with four straight victories.
