SPRINGFIELD, Mass. - After an impressive 10-5 regular season, including going 7-2 in The Commonwealth Coast Conference, the Endicott College men's tennis team has been announced as the \#3 seed in the upcoming TCCC Tournament as announced by Commissioner Gregg M. Kaye on Thursday. The Gulls will host the Golden Bears of Western New England College (7-7, 4-5 TCCC) on Saturday April 18th at 11:00 a.m. in Beverly, Mass.
Endicott defeated WNEC earlier this year as the Gulls traveled to Springfield, Mass. for their conference opener on March 27th. The Gulls dropped all three doubles matches before winning 5-of-6 singles matches to secure the win. Josh Schoen (Phoenix, Ariz.) blanked Alex Boutin (Bristol, Conn.) 6-0, 6-0 to start singles play. Dan Murray (Coventry, R.I.) then got the best of Brian Relihan (Orange, Conn.) in come-from-behind fashion, 2-6, 6-2, 6-1, while Devon Locke (St. Croix, Virgin Islands) swung past Mike Jones (Stone Ridge, N.Y.), 6-4, 6-3. Scott Teller (Granville, N.Y.) dominated Steve Genovese (North Haven, Conn.), 6-1, 6-2 to even the score, and then Mike D'Ambra (Barrington, R.I.) got the game-winner with a 6-3, 7-5 win over Jason Lee (Scarsdale, N.Y.).
These two teams met in the TCCC quarterfinals last season on April 19th as Endicott cruised past the Golden Bears 7-2. Since the Golden Bears' inception into the TCCC in 2007-08, Endicott has posted a 3-0 record against WNEC by scores of 5-4, 7-2, and 5-4.
