NEW YORK - The No. 22 Columbia men's tennis team cruised to its fifth straight win and fourth shutout of the season on its home courts Sunday afternoon as the Lions blanked No. 61 Brown, 7-0, at the Dick Savitt Tennis Center.
The Lions (12-5, 5-0 Ivy League) made quick work of the Bears (15-5, 1-3 Ivy League), winning five of the six singles matches in straight sets to earn their 16th straight Ivy League match and 22nd consecutive win at home.
Columbia got off to a fast start by claiming the doubles point for the fifth straight match and 12th time this season. Dragos Ignat and Ashok Narayana topped Peter Tarwid and Greg Garcia, 6-3, in the second slot, and Bert Vancura and Max Schnur downed Aaron Sandberg and Jack Haworth, 6-2, at No. 3 to secure the point.
On the first singles court, No. 21 Winston Lin got things going with a 6-2, 6-3, victory over Justin To. Ignat handled Garcia, 6-1, 6-2, in the second position and Narayana edged Brandon Yeoh by an identical score on the third court.
Mike Vermeer continue his scintillating run, winning his ninth straight dual match and kept his Ancient Eight career-record perfect with a 7-6, 0-6, 1-0(7) victory over Tarwid, in the fourth position.
Shawn Hadavi outlasted Sandberg, 6-2, 6-2, at No. 5 and Vancura beat Haworth, 6-3, 6-4, at No. 6.
Columbia wraps up the regular season next weekend. The Lions visit Princeton Friday, April 17, before welcoming Penn to the Big Apple Sunday, April 19.
