Bowdoin, 7-2, and Middlebury, 8-1, on Saturday. F&M fell 6-3 to
Bates Sunday morning to wrap-up the weekend.
No. 5 Zarir Aibara joined No. 4 Sadiq Madraswala in the 40-win
club by winning a pair of matches on Saturday. He is the
52nd Diplomat to pull off the feat. Madraswala was one
of three Diplomats that went undefeated on the weekend. No. 2,
Guillherme de Melo went 3-0 with a pair of 3-0 sweeps and a win in
five against his Middlebury opponent. No. 8 Ben Lurio won a pair of
matches in five and posted a sweep on the weekend.

Polar Bears, F&M is now 6-10 in the series. F&M remains
perfect against Middlebury at 3-0, and is now 6-8 against Bates
having lost the last two matches. The Diplomats split a pair of
