CACC Team Notes

Chestnut Hill - The Griffins recorded two wins this week thanks to some motivating individual matches from sophomores Adrian Avena (Vineland, NJ) and Julius Twyman (Coatesvile, PA). Avena’s 7-5, 6-1 comeback win at #6 singles inspired the Griffins to a 6-3 win over STAC and Julius’ 3-6, 6-2, 6-3 win at #3 singles was the deciding point in CHC’s 5-4 win over UDC.

Concordia - The Clippers will face off against their first CACC opponent this Friday as they host Caldwell College at 3:00pm. 

Philadelphia - The Rams opened their spring season in Orlando, Florida, where they went 1-3 during the tournament.  They picked up their first win at home against East Stroudsburg University (3/21) by a score of 5-4.  The team will compete in four conference matches this week against Caldwell (3/23), Bloomfield (3/25), Concordia (3/27) and Post (3/28).
