*The Leopards and Raiders have split their last two meetings against each other, with Lafayette prevailing, 4-3, in April 2018 thanks to a doubles-point securing victory from Samantha Snyder and Cecelia Lesnick in the first flight, and a sixth-flight singles win from Alexa Cooke.

*Last weekend, Maureen McCormack earned victories in both singles and doubles against Loyola. Her singles win came in three sets, 6-4, 4-6, 10-5, at the fourth flight. Her doubles partner, Halle DeNardo, followed up their doubles success from the day before with a fourth-flight singles win of her own against Saint Joseph's, 7-5, 6-2.

*Senior Samantha Snyder and sophomore Jessica Siegel have each posted four singles wins to lead the team. Snyder's wins have all come at first-flight singles. The senior has not lost a match at the top singles flight this season.

Lafayette men's tennis (1-5, 1-2 PL) vs. Colgate (2-5, 2-2 PL)

*The Leopards close their regular season with the road contest against Colgate. A win over the Raiders would secure a men's tennis program record for Patriot League winning percentage.

*William Barry is coming off his second Patriot League honorable mention this season for the conference's weekly Player of the Week award. The junior won both his singles and doubles ties for the second consecutive Patriot League match, earning a 6-1, 6-0 win at first-flight singles last weekend against Loyola.

*Five different Leopards have registered singles wins this season. Alongside Barry, who has a team-high three singles wins, sophomores Nash Lovallo and Josh Wolfe each have two singles wins this season. Freshman Davis Esslinger earned his first career singles win earlier this season in straight sets against Coppin State, while senior John Yurconic put on a convincing performance at second-flight singles in the most recent match against Loyola to earn a 6-1, 6-2 win.
