10 and Oh
Since being inserted into the singles lineup, Aaron Sandler has been sensational for the Quakers, going a perfect 10-0. The junior has defeated five opponents on ranked teams with a 4-0 record in Ivy play.
 
Shaurya's Shines Again
Shaurya Bharadwaj has had many standout moments in his first season at University City, and the freshman added another one this past Sunday against No. 39 Cornell. On the brink of elimination, down 1-6, 3-5, he rallied back in the second set to win 7-6 (4). He capped off the victory in the 10-point tiebreaker.

Previewing Brown
Despite their struggles in Ancient Eight play (0-5), the Bears have impressed with an 18-10 record in the dual match season. They've been especially formidable at home, tying their program record for most home wins at 16.
 
Alex Finkelstein is the sole Brown player ranked according to the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA), coming in at No. 115. The Raynham, Mass. native is 17-9, winning eight of his last 10 matches. He is the first Brown singles performer to be ranked since 2007.
 
Previewing Yale
The Bulldogs and Quakers are no strangers to one another, having played each other twice already with Penn winning both times. Their most recent affair came in the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) First Round where Penn won 4-3 in a thrilling match.
 
Since their meeting in February, Yale has gone 7-7 with a 1-4 start in Ivy League play.
 
Vignesh Gogineni is ranked No. 66 on ITA but he has not played in a match in over a month. Sophomore Jim Ji has been filling in for Gogineni at the first position, going 1-2 against Ivy opponents.
