WALTHAM, Mass. – Southern New Hampshire used a sweep of the doubles matches to edge Bentley 6-3 in the Falcons first Northeast-10 match of the spring. The teams split the six singles matches 3-3.

Bentley's winners in singles were Dylan Granat (Woodbury, N.Y./Syosset), Michael Fuca (Manchester, Mass./Manchester-Essex) and Brett Gilman (Mahwah, N.J./Mahwah).
