BEVERLY, Mass. – Endicott men’s tennis improved their
Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) record to 3-2 on Saturday
afternoon with a 9-0 defeat against the Western New England Golden

The Gulls improve their overall record to 7-8, while WNE drops to
5-6, and 2-2 in the CCCC.
Endicott won at both first and third doubles by 8-2 scores. Top
doubles pair Oliver Joggi (Stoneham, Mass.) and Jake Cohen
(Barrington, R.I.) had little difficulty with Chris Holzinger
(Foster, R.I.) and Pete Lefrancois (Marlboro, Mass.), while Porter
Williams (Raleigh, N.C.) and Mike Lauretano (Winchester, Mass.)
took care of business at the third doubles spot.
The closest doubles contest came at the \#2 spot, where Ben
Randlett (Middlebury, Vt.) and Eric Gandrup (Sudbury, Mass.) were
locked in battle with Shawn Fitzpatrick (Burnt Hills, N.Y.) and
John Mindek (Willington, Conn.). The tandem of Gulls were able to
edge their opponents by a 9-8 score after securing an 11-9
tiebreaker victory.
Joggi was also able to edge Holzinger at first singles in the only
singles match that went to three sets. Joggi took the first set 7-6
in a 7-5 tiebreak, but Holzinger came back for a 6-1 victory in the
second set. Joggi was victorious 10-5 in a tiebreaker to ensure the
clean sweep for the Gulls.
At second doubles, Williams won 6-1, 6-2 over JonPaul Ouellette
(Bethlehem, Conn.) and sophomore Evan Ross (Worcester, Mass.)
collected a third singles win over Fitzpatrick. Randlett and Cohen
also won in singles and Endicott freshman Tim Forance (Natick,
Mass.) collected a 6-0, 6-0 shutout at sixth singles.
