	Daemen: Daemen picked up their first win of the season with a 7-2 defeat of Division III Houghton last Wednesday. A Friday night match vs. Pitt-Greensburg was postponed due to hazardous travel conditions, but the Wildcats made it to St. Bonaventure Saturday where they fell 7-0. The Wildcats (1-6, 0-0 ECC) host St. Vincent this Saturday evening in their only match this week.
	District of Columbia: The Firebirds fell to 2-5 after being swept, 7-0, by Division I Navy on Sunday morning. This week, UDC will host Dominican in non-conference action on Tuesday, before starting ECC play with a road match at Queens on Saturday.
	Queens: Men's tennis host Adelphi on Tuesday in regional action before opening East Coast Conference play against District of Columbia Saturday afternoon.
	St. Thomas Aquinas: The St. Thomas Aquinas College Men's Tennis team (7-1) earned a hard-fought 4-3 victory over Edinboro last week.
