The Pride jumped out to an early lead with three wins in doubles play on the afternoon, led at first doubles by junior Chris Harrow (North Reading, Mass.) and Gabriel Montealegre (Managua, Nicaragua), who beat Lesley's Niko Marcolini (Newbury, Mass.) and Beowulf Urban (Blue Hills, Maine) 8-0.

Regis carried the momentum into singles play, continuing to dominate the Lynx.
