The York College men's tennis team was back in action today, as they played two matches, one at home and one away on a busy Saturday. The Cardinals picked up a win against St. Joseph's College- Brooklyn, 5-4, in the final home match of the season and then traveled to the College of Staten Island where they lost a 7-2 decision.
The doubleheader was necessary because of the bad weather that forced many postponements this season. York needed to get both matches in this week.
