Against Binghamton (6-8) on Saturday, Guevara and junior Elliot Fanshel both pushed their singles matches to three sets before falling. Guevara was defeated by Elliott Hureau, 7-5, 2-6, 10-0, at third singles, while Fanshel lost 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 to Alexander Maisin from the second position.
In doubles play against the Bearcats, Guevara and Yanez fell 8-4, Trevor Haskell and Gabriel Cardenas were defeated 8-2 in the third position and Fanshel and Guevara trailed 7-4 in a match that was not finished.
Each of St. Bonaventure's six singles players were defeated in straight sets on Sunday against No. 51 Yale, which improved to 13-3 and extended its home winning streak to eight matches.
