WALTHAM, Mass. – Four different players won in both singles and doubles as the Bentley University men's tennis team topped Franklin Pierce 8-1 Wednesday afternoon in its first Northeast-10 match of the season. The win was also the 100th of head coach Alex Wong's career coaching the men's team at Bentley.

Seniors Jimmy Rindo (Lowell, Mass./Lowell) and Andrew Waddington (Granby, Conn./Granby Memorial), freshman Chase Rosa (Hampton, N.H./Berwick Academy) and sophomore Evan Chomka (Warwick, R.I./Bishop Hendricken) were the double winners for Bentley on the day.

After Bentley swept doubles play to take a 3-0 lead, they won five of six singles matches.
