Regular season champions Pratt Institute successfully defended their title with a dominating performance producing all nine flight champions to repeat as Hudson Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (HVIAC) men's tennis champions at the USTA Billy Jean King National Tennis Center.

Pratt assembled an unblemished regular season and won the maximum 27 points for their second straight title. The Cannoneers also captured the women's tennis championship this past fall and have won the past three women's titles.

The Cannoneers were led by overall singles champion junior Sergio Yarritu (The Woodlands, Texas) who capped an undefeated season in conference play at both singles and doubles. Yarritu teamed up with No. 4 singles champion John Imamoglu (Istanbul, Turkey) to take the top doubles championship with an 8-0 shutout.

Senior Moritz Petre (Middle Village, N.Y.) captured the number two singles and joined number five singles champion Andrew Barkett (Mansfield, Ohio) to win the number two doubles title. The duo endured a scare from Sarah Lawrence in the semifinals, winning in a tie-breaker to advance to the finals.

Rounding the flight champions for the Cannoneers was Eli Eskenazi (Aventura, Fla.) at number three singles and Fan Mo (Beijing, China) at number six singles who paired up at number three doubles.
