Viguie-Ramos and Davis paired up and won 8–6 over senior Tyler Williams and Hurt during the first doubles while Lazarevic and Hayes brought home another win at second doubles. Wolf and Buksbaum obtained a 9–7 win in the third flight against Nazareth’s Trobert and freshman Ryley Amond.
Hayes said he was happy with the team’s performance for the day.
“It was good to get back to our winning ways today after a tough weekend. It was really nice to see Stefan pick up his first career singles win. Now we just gotta move forward to Alfred and Houghton this weekend,” Hayes said.
The Bombers’ next matchup will be against Alfred University at 4 p.m. April 15 in Alfred, New York.
