Colby-Sawyer downs Men’s Tennis in home opener

Box Score BRISTOL, R.I. – The Roger Williams University Men's Tennis dropped its first dual match of the 2013-14 season, falling 2-7 to Colby-Sawyer College Friday evening.

The Hawks began the day well, taking two of the three doubles matches. Jonah Schwartz (Orange, Conn.) and Ryan Swanson (West Newbury, Mass.) defeated Nathan Taschereau (Goffstown, N.H.) and Myles Utell (Bedford, N.H.) 8-3 at #1, while Eric Bott (Bethel, Conn.) and Kyle Bull (Pleasantville, N.Y.) won 8-4 over Cass McCann (Edmonton, Alberta, Canada) and Justin Pinard (Essexc, Vt.) at #2. Colby-Sawyer's Dean Boodakian (Burlington, Vt.) and Sergio Spassof (Pallini, Greece) picked up the Chargers' first point with an 8-5 win at #3 against Andrew Amarone (North Haven, Conn.) and Alex Bonanno (Westford, Mass.)

From that point, it would be all Colby-Sawyer, as the Chargers took all six singles matches. Spassof and Clay Allen picked up identical 6-3, 6-1 wins at #6 and #5, respectively, over Bonanno and Bott. Swanson and Taschereau battled to a tightly-contested match at #1, but Taschereau came out ahead in the end 7-6 (4), 6-2.

Roger Williams (0-1) heads to the Stonehill Invitational on October 5, while Colby-Sawyer (1-1) hosts UMass-Boston on Sunday.
