SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - The Bard College men's tennis team opened the 2021-22 season at nationally-ranked Skidmore College in a Liberty League match on Saturday.

Skidmore prevailed, 9-0.

Noah Gulla and first year Kai O'Donnell won three games at No. 1 doubles, and Gulla won three games at No. 1 singles, but Skidmore swept all the other games.

"Skidmore points in the direction Bard tennis wants to go," Bard coach Roge Nesbitt said. "We believe we are one step closer to achieving that goal."

The Raptors will next play at Union on Sept. 22.
