Box Score Ambler, Pa. - (2/20/2021) – For the first time since March 9, 2020, the Chestnut Hill College men's tennis team engaged in competition. The restart brought the Griffins to Ambler, Pennsylvania's Upper Dublin Sports Center, where they lost to St. Joseph's University by a 4-3 final. Junior Gregory Joseph Kvint (Hungtingdon Valley, Pa.), and freshmen Domagoj Dugandzic (Stuttgart, Germany), and Joao Sousa (Pontevedra, Spain) scored consecutive Scarlet and Gold singles wins in the second (6-4, 7-6 (7-6)), fifth (6-3, 7-6 (6-4)), and fourth (2-6, 6-0, 7-6 (7-3)) flights, but the Chestnut Hill College rally would fall just shy of its mark as the Hawks concluded the match with a 6-4, 3-6, 7-5, win at number six singles.
 
St. Joseph's University (2-0) swept doubles play and extended their lead to 3-0 before Kvint ignited the Chestnut Hill College (0-1) rally with his 6-4, 7-6 (7-6) victory at number two singles. Kvint's Scarlet and Gold debut victory was followed by a couple more as Dugandzic and Sousa precipitated consecutive Griffin wins at number five singles (6-3, 7-6 (6-4)) and number four singles (2-6, 6-0, 7-6 (7-3)). Unfortunately, the Hawks finally completed their victory with a 6-4, 3-6, 7-5, win number six singles.
 
Chestnut Hill College returns to action on Saturday, March 13, when they host Loyola University (Md.) in a 12:00 p.m. dual match.
