Alec Roslin's win at No. 5 singles completed the comeback for the St. Lawrence men's tennis team on Sunday night, as the Saints edged RIT 5-4 in a Liberty League match at the Midtown Athletic Club in Rochester, New York.

The Saints trailed the Tigers 4-3 with two singles matches remaining before Jordan Mamelak tied it at 4-4 with an 6-0, 6-4 win over Patrick Mathews at No. 6, leaving Roslin on court with a chance to win it. He beat RIT's Mac Yang Li 6-2, 6-2 to help St. Lawrence sweep the weekend and win its second conference match of the season.

The Saints trailed 2-1 after doubles, with Eric Tecce and Leo Romanetz pairing for an 8-3 win at No. 1, but got wins from Tecce, Andrew Mercorella, Roslin and Mamelak in singles to complete the comeback.
