CLEVELAND, Ohio - The Vikings swept the doubles competition to claim the doubles point and won three singles matches to defeat St. Bonaventure 4-3. The win moves CSU to 3-2 on the season.

Sophomore Phil Orno led the charge, defeating Leo Mochizuki 6-3, 6-1 at No. 1 singles. Orno also won at No. 2 doubles with freshman Chris Klepatz. Klepatz won at No. 3 singles, defeating Victor Lecina 7-6 (4), 2-6, 6-4 while freshman Robert Fox won 7-6 (10), 6-3 over Mikhail Sudakov at No. 5 singles. Fox and junior Rob West won 8-5 at No. 1 doubles.

"Today we played without our No. 1 player and came in with some different doubles combinations," head coach Brian Etzkin said. "Our doubles teams played crisp doubles and then we went to work in singles. Phil, Chris, and Rob had some big matches that led to a quality win."

CSU visits Niagara on Sunday, Feb. 3 at 1:00 p.m.
