PISCATAWAY, NJ - Army won three straight doubles matches and took four singles matches en route to a 5-2 decision to Rutgers on Friday, March 5, at the East Brunswick Racquet Club.

“It was a very close, hard-fought match,” said head coach Ben Bucca. “We played a lot of close matches, but Army was just a little bit better then us. You have to give them credit. I thought our kids gave it their best shot.”
