Both the men’s and women’s tennis teams at Stony Brook notched their first America East conference wins over the weekend as both programs notched victories over the University of Maryland-Baltimore County on Saturday.

On the road, both programs bounced back from long layoffs to open up conference play successfully.

The men would earn the doubles point thanks to Jose Morales & Samuel Taieb’s victory at first doubles and Tyler Hoffman & Rodrigo Ristow Hadlich’s triumph at third doubles.

The Seawolves would get straight set victories from Raphael Termat at first singles and Hadlich at fifth singles before Kenzo Kauffman clinched the victory with a 5-7, 6-4, 6-1 win at sixth singles.

The Stony Brook women would fall behind early as it dropped the doubles point, but the Seawolves responded with victories at second, third, fourth and sixth singles to storm back for the victory.

Both programs will return to action on Wednesday, March 30 against Long Island foe Hofstra.
