The men’s tennis team remains undefeated in Atlantic 10 conference play after topping Richmond 5-2 on Saturday.

The No. 59 Colonials were scheduled to face No. 25 VCU Sunday, but the match between the two ranked conference foes is postponed due to weather.

GW (9-5, 3-0) swept Richmond in doubles play and earned victories at the Nos. 1, 3, 5 and 6 singles positions. Junior Nikita Formin set the standard from his No. 1 singles position. Formin defeated Richmond’s Ethan Dunbar in straight sets, 7-6, 6-2.

The most dominant performances of the day came from juniors Ulrik Thomsen and Viktor Svensson. Thomsen and Svensson dominated their opponents immediately, earning wins in straight sets, 6-0, 6-2, from the No. 5 and 6 positions, respectively.
