ORLANDO, Fla. – Lafayette competed in matches against Indiana-Purdue Indianapolis (IUPUI), Colby-Sawyer, Bentley and Ithaca at a variety of courts during the 2024 spring break tournament trip from March 13-15.

"It was a great week for the men's team, who achieved their goals. A three-to-one record in these matches is definitely a big accomplishment for them and will certainly help us going forward in Patriot League competition," said head coach Ralph Van Ormer. "Solid play in doubles and singles by Arman Ganchi and Derrin Lerner helped us earn big wins throughout the week."

The Leopards fell to IUPUI (7-0) on the first morning of play before completing a three-match sweep of the remaining opponents: Colby Sawyer (6-1), Bentley (5-2) and Ithaca (5-2).
