Day Two Results

NEW YORK, N.Y. -- The Fairleigh Dickinson men's tennis team wrapped up day two of the Columbia Classic at the Dick Savitt Tennis Center on Saturday.

In Flight A singles, sophomore Arvis Berzins (Adazi, Latvia/Riga Language School) defeated Cornell's Sam Fleck, the top seeded player in the tournament, 6-3, 7-6(5) in the quarterfinals. In the semis, however, Berzins dropped a 7-6, 6-4 decision to Dragos Ignat of Columbia.

Having won two matches yesterday, Peter Skvarka (Banska Bystrica, Slovakia/Gymnazium J.G. Tajovskeho) and Yuri Gricheno (Sao Paulo, Brazil/Colegio Amorim) will play in the finals on Sunday against Fraser Croad and Andres Alban in Flight B doubles.

Skvarka was also active in Flight C singles main draw, but suffered a loss as did fellow senior Mark Hemy (Suffolk, England/Ipswich School) in the Flight C consolation round.  

The Columbia Classic will conclude tomorrow.
