MANCHESTER, N.H. – Southern New Hampshire University wrapped up the regular season as it downed Bentley University 7-2 on Senior Day in Northeast-10 men's tennis Saturday at the SNHU courts. The Penmen improve to 16-5 overall and 8-2 in the NE-10, while the Falcons are now 9-7 and 7-2 in the league.
The win assures the Penmen of earning no lower than the No. 3 seed in the upcoming Northeast-10 Championship that kicks off with first round matches on Tuesday, April 22. SNHU is locked into the third spot unless Adelphi University, which holds the second position currently, drops two of its final four conference matches.
Southern New Hampshire held a 2-1 lead after doubles and captured five of six singles matches. In doubles play, Mitch Dobek (Westfield, Mass.) and Mike Wallace (Mount Vernon, N.Y.) were 8-5 winners at No. 1, while Juan Arango-Campo (Armenia Quindio, Colombia) and Alex Mukdaprakorn (Hartford, Conn.) took down an 8-0 win at No. 2.
In singles, Dobek, Arango-Campo, Wallace, Mukdaprakorn and Mark Dobek (Westfield, Mass.) all took down singles wins.
Prior to the match, Arango-Campo, Mitch Dobek and Mukdaprakorn were honored as seniors playing in their final regular season home match. Three of the four program leaders in victories, the trio has led SNHU to a 53-31 record and three straight NCAA Tournament trips.
