Junior Xavier Aubron (Herouville, France) and freshman Bas Van Biezen (Sassenheim, Netherlands) lost just three combined games all day as the Southern New Hampshire University men's tennis team blanked Colby-Sawyer College, 9-0, to open the season Thursday. 

Aubron was a 6-2, 6-0 winner at No. 4 singles against Andrew Peloquin, while Van Biezen, in his first collegiate singles match, easily took care of Ross Kenney, 6-1, 6-0, at No. 5. Together, the duo made it a quick 8-0 victory against Kenney and Alex Wright at No. 2 doubles.

Wright played reigning Northeast-10 Rookie of the Year Ricardo Marreiros (Portimao, Portugal) tight in the opening set of their No. 1 singles match, before falling, 7-5. Marreiros then came back in the second set and posted a 6-2 win to take the match. The junior teamed with classmate Jeremy Reichentahl (Cheshire, Conn.) for an 8-4 No. 3 doubles triumph against Ryan Sawyer and Will Triebel. 

Reichentahl cruised to a 6-1, 6-0 victory against Matt Burke at No. 6 singles.

Junior Tiago Fernandes (Porto, Portugal) captured his No. 2 singles tilt with Gustav Jigrup in straight sets, 6-2, 6-3, and combined with classmate Miguel Marreiros (Portimao, Portugal) to double up Jigrup and Peloquin, 8-4. 

Miguel Marreiros defeated Sawyer, 6-3, 6-1, at No. 3 singles.
