The number one singles player, Ethan Bloom ’24, engaged in a fierce battle against Villanova’s number two, ultimately losing in a closely contested match.

The doubles matches proved to be a stronghold for the Rams, as they swept all nine points. Nate Newlove ’25 and Harry Su ’25 set a strong precedent by defeating Villanova’s top doubles team 6-0 in the first round before taking a well-deserved rest. Kaden Green ’27 and Kenny Wang ’27 stepped in for them and secured the remaining two points, solidifying the Rams’ victory.

With this impressive win, the Rams are now focused on the upcoming league individual championships scheduled for next week. Following the championships, they will face Dunn in their final league match next Friday. The Rams are determined to carry their winning momentum forward as they continue their quest for success in the league.
