On November 13th, the team took a day trip drive up to Bard College to compete in a round-robin. The team played three matches, against Vassar, Colgate, and Swarthmore. Although Bard hosted the event, too many injuries kept them from fielding a full team (although some of our players played exhibition games with Bard players). 

Lafayette first played Vassar, losing 8-1. The standout matches came from Burton and Gates at ranks 1 and 2 respectively. Both played long 5 game matches against their Vassar opponents, with Burton clutching his 50-minute set for the Leopards’ only win of the match.

In the following match, Lafayette played Colgate, losing 6-3. The Leopards saw wins from Burton, Gates, and Ricci.

The final match was against Swarthmore, where Lafayette won 6-3.  Leininger, Humphrey, and Swain netted their first wins of the day, while Burton, Gates, and Ricci continued their win streak from the preceding match.
