ORLANDO, Fla.-The Fairfield University men's tennis team wrapped up its Spring Break trip to the Sunshine State of Florida on Thursday night with its second consecutive 4-3 match win topping a scrappy St. Thomas Aquinas College Spartans squad after besting Marquette on Wednesday afternoon.  With the victory, the Stags are now 3-5 on the season; while STAC slips to 7-3.

The Spartans opened the match by taking the doubles' point with victories in the number two and three slots.  At number one doubles, the Fairfield pairing of Will O'Brien and Kostas Kollias posted a 6-2 win.

After dropping the doubles' point, the Stags regrouped to earn the victory with four singles' triumphs.

Three of those wins came in straight sets, as Sam Hodges prevailed at number one, 6-2 and 6-4. Calum Jessett continued his strong play so far this season with a 6-4, 6-3 victory at number two and Domagoj Stabek turned in a dominant 6-0, 6-4 triumph at number four.

Alex Aguiar earned a tough, three-set win at number five singles, 6-2, 4-6, 6-2.

Head coach Jeff Bricker summed of the Stags' Florida trip saying, "It was a great way for the men to finish off the spring trip with two close wins!  We picked up our intensity in singles and pulled off a good win.  Looking forward to getting back up to Fairfield for some home matches and to open MAAC play."

The Stags will look to continue the momentum of the two wins to close out their Florida trip next Thursday afternoon, March 20, when the team plays its first outdoor home match of 2025 and its final non-conference contest before opening Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference play, when FDU comes to campus for a 12 noon matchup.
