MIDDLETOWN, CT. – Posting their third, 5-2 victory in a row, the Wesleyan men's tennis team put out a showing in singles play to top Hamilton College on Saturday afternoon in the first NESCAC matchup since returning home from Spring Break at the John Wood Memorial Courts.

The No. 24 Cardinals did not need much convincing of a comeback effort after sour doubles play placed the Continentals up by one. Brett Keeling '27 was the first to put away a singles match win at No. 5. Cruising to a 6-1 win in set one, Eerik Aadamsoo put up four in an attempt to force a tiebreak, but Keeling sealed the match with a 6-1, 6-4 final.

Filling the lineup at No. 3, Max Lustgarten '25 felt a bit of a punch back from Anson Anderson through set two after Lustgarten already had a one set lead. Anderson pushed Lustgarten to a 6-2, 7-5 final. Chase Kasday '26 featured at No. 6 against Antonio Chavez, pulling out a 6-4, 6-4 win before the Cardinals awaited three-set finishes from No. 1 and No. 2.

Down one after Lleyton Mendieta won set one in a tiebreak, JT Bilski '26 fought back to tie up the match with a  6-2 set two win. Allowing zero game wins in set three, Bilski clocked a 6-7 (3-7), 6-2, 6-0 defeat of Mendieta. Flipping the script on court two, Harry Collomb '26 won out set one, going 7-5 before Connor Griff peaked in a tiebreak second set. Running down 10 games on Griff in the final set, Collomb rolled out a final 7-5, 6-7 (7-9), 10-7 win.

The Cardinals return to action on Sunday, March 30, when they host No. 9 Amherst.
