Harrison, N.Y. - The Fordham men's tennis team got back on track on Saturday, defeating Wagner College, 5-2, at Life Time Athletic.
"Wagner did a great job winning the doubles point but we never gave up," said head coach David Slater. "The response in singles was exactly what you want to see from your team. Quinn and Dhillon were red hot and got two quick wins to start the momentum shift. This was an excellent win and exactly what we needed heading into our spring break matches."
The Rams opened the match by dropping the doubles point but won first through fifth singles matches, four in straight sets, for the win.
