PROVIDENCE, R.I. - The Brown men's tennis team opened the spring season with two victories, defeating Quinnipiac, 5-2, and Binghamton, 7-0, on Sunday at the Pizzitola Sports Center.

Junior Ching Lam (Sai Kung, Hong Kong) and sophomore Robert Siniakowicz (West Windsor, N.J.) followed by winning the point for Brown with a 6-2 showing in the first spot.

Litsky also opened singles with a win, defeating his opponent 6-1, 6-2 in the second position. Van Eck increased the Bears' lead to 3-0 with a 6-0, 6-2 win in fourth singles. Walker (6-1, 6-2, first) and Lam (6-3, 3-6, 10-6) put the match away with their wins for a 5-0 lead before Quinnipiac got on the board by taking fifth and sixth singles for the final of 5-2.

In the second match, van Eck and Litsky posted the first doubles win in the third spot, 6-3, while Lam and Siniakowicz clinched the point with a 6-4 victory in first doubles.

Lam started the singles victories with a 6-2, 6-4 win in the third spot. Van Eck (3-6, 6-2, 6-0, fourth) and Litsky (7-5, 1-6, 6-3) went the distance in three sets for a 4-0 lead. Senior Jacob Walker (Bethesda, Md.) also gutted out a win, taking his second singles match in 7-6 (1) and 7-6 (8). Siniakowicz (6-4, 6-1, fifth) and freshman Matthew Mu (La Jolla, Calif.)
