April 1, 2009
MILTON, Mass. - The Endicott men's tennis team ran its shutout streak to three-straight matches, as the Gulls blanked Curry College, 9-0, in TCCC action on Wednesday afternoon in Milton, Mass. The Gulls, who beat Eastern Nazarene 9-0 on Saturday and downed Southern Maine 7-0 on Monday, improve to 5-3 with the win.
Josh Schoen (Phoenix, Ariz.) and Dan Murray (Coventry, R.I.) set the tone early as the duo dominated Tyler Brown (Sherman, Conn.) and Brian Leahy (Reading, Mass.). The winning continued throughout the two remaining doubles contests as Devon Locke (St. Croix, Virgin Islands) and Mike D'Ambra (Barrington, R.I.) defeated Justin Levine (Medfield, Mass.) and Caleb Zipperstein (Greenbrae, Calif.), 8-3. Scott Teller (Granville, N.Y.) and Marc Maloney (Feeding Hills, Mass.) closed out the team play with a 9-7 win over Charles Edlund (Hanover, Mass.) and Matthew Lawrence (Rochester, Mass.).
The Gulls couldn't be stopped in singles action as Schoen, Murray and Locke coasted to their respective victories. Marc Maloney and Shawn Cadagan (Reading, Mass.) were also both winners in easy fashion (6-0, 6-0 for Cadagan and 6-0, 6-2 for Maloney). The closest singles match of the day, yet still resulting in an Endicott victory, was Teller's close call with Brian Leahy. Teller snuck past the Curry junior with a 4-6, 6-2, 10-8 decision.
Up next for the Gulls is a TCCC date with Wentworth on Saturday afternoon at 1:00 p.m. on the South Campus Courts in Beverly, Mass.
