Jamaica, NY – St. John's posted a 4-0 victory over Hofstra Thursday afternoon at the SJU Tennis Courts. With temperatures in the 40's and wind gusts up near 20 mph, both teams decided to begin the contest with singles competition in a play-to-clinch format to avoid the weather affecting play. 

Andrei Crapcenco had a pair of 6-2 victories over Coco Haener at No. 3 to give the Johnnies an early 1-0 lead. Luka Sucevic followed with a 6-3, 6-1 win at No. 1 over the Pride's Marcus Smith. Dusan Vukicevic extended the St. John's (12-5) lead with a 6-1, 6-4 victory over Jan Leithner from the No. 4 spot. Alan Nunez Aguilera clinched the match for the Red Storm with a 7-5, 6-3 win over Niko Vulinovich at No. 2.
