RICHMOND, Va. – The George Mason University men's tennis team continued its stellar fall singles play this weekend with an outstanding effort at the River City Tennis Open.
 
The Patriots tallied a combined 18-12 singles mark against some of the region's top competition, including foes from Georgetown, James Madison, Navy, Bucknell and Longwood. Through four fall events, Mason is now a combined 52-34 (.605) in tournament singles.
 
Junior Hayden Postin led the charge for the Green & Gold while tallying a perfect 3-0 individual mark. That perfect stretch included wins over Longwood's Ryan Foster (6-1, 6-0), Bucknell's Michael Owen (4-6, 6-4, 6-4) and Navy's Michael McNair (7-6 (4), 6-4).
 
Elsewhere, freshman Zavan Fahim also tallied a perfect 3-0 singles mark, with triumphs against Longwood's Kuan Chang Huang (6-3, 6-4), JMU's Mario Pena (4-6, 6-4, 6-4) and Navy's Eric Liu (6-1, 6-1).
 
Fellow freshman Alvaro Pedraza also notched a 2-1 singles mark, while senior Rithik Sardana also tallied two singles victories. That included a three-set barnburner against JMU's Julian Lozano (6-7 (4), 6-4, 6-2).
 
Sophomore Niza Simunyola picked up a pair of victories, as did his fellow sophomore, Dustin Ha.
 
The Patriots are back in action Oct. 14-16 at the Navy Blue Invite in Annapolis.
