CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. - After winning their first match in the program's short history, the Lesley University men's tennis fell to Newbury College 6-3 despite winning the doubles competition and the number one singles match.

The doubles combinations of Zach Rocha (New Bedford, Mass.) and Fran Cusick (Lexington, Mass.) as well as Peter Lauer (Eugene, Ore.) and Peter Parrales (Otterberg, GERMANY) won their matches to win a point for Lesley.  Rocha and Cusick dominated their match 8-1 while Lauer and Parrales edged their opponents 8-6.
