In singles play, Saint Francis won four of the six possible points to clinch its first Northeast Conference victory of the campaign.

Nos. 1 and 2 Washi Gervais (Longueuil, Quebec/College Stanislas) and Rodrigo Tico (Guadalajara, Mexico/Colegio de Bachilleres) put the Seahawks on the ropes from the start, while Chris Jimenez (Bayside, N.Y./St. Francis Preparatory) finished the job with a 6-3, 6-1 romp at No. 4.

For good measure, Flash No. 6, Eli Cerdan (Bloomfield, N.J. /Saint Mary High School), trounced his opposition with a, 6-4, 6-2 decision.

Saint Francis is back in action on March 27.  They'll play FDU.
