The young Light Blue team showed its potential this weekend at the Farnsworth/Princeton Invitational, with four Lions taking first and two others taking second in their individual brackets. Strong play from freshman Daniel Morgan and sophomores Max Schnur, Bert Vancura, and Ashok Narayana resulted in all four players taking home titles in their respective draws. Though freshman Eric Rubin and sophomore Winston Lin made it to the finals matches of their brackets, Rubin withdrew due to injury and Lin fell in two sets. Lin, ranked No. 95 in the nation, defeated No. 38 Vasko Mladenov of St. John’s in the semifinal, but he could not best Princeton’s Matija Pecotic, ranked No. 67 nationally. In doubles, the Lions were less successful, as both Vancura/Rubin and Narayana/Schnur lost in the quarterfinals. The Lions head to Flushing Meadows next weekend for the NTC Invitational.
