CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – With a 7-2 (6-2 NECC) record, the Lesley University men's tennis team finished runner up to Mitchell College in the New England Collegiate Conference (NECC) regular season standings following a 8-1 triumph over Becker College Tuesday evening.  The Lynx will now wait for the seedings to come out for this weekend's NECC Championship.

The championship will be held on the campus of Connecticut College and will be hosted by regular season champions Mitchell College on May 1-2.

Suffering a loss in only the #3 doubles match, the Lynx battled hard to win eight of the other nine match ups.  The #2 doubles duo of Nick Mattox (PASADENA, Md./Chesapeake) and Christian Domingo (LOS ANGELES, Calif./College of the Canyons) extended their unbeaten streak to 7-0 with a 8-1 win over their opponents.

In #1 doubles, David Newton (HAMDEN, Conn./Hamden) and Alex Zhitnik (WEST HARTFORD, Conn./Conard) edged their Hawk opponents 8-6 as the Lynx took two out of the three doubles competitions.

In singles play, the host Lynx walked away victorious in every match.  Most notably, Newton defeated Becker's #1 singles player in three sets 6-4, 5-7, 6-4.

After losing the first set of their separate matches, #2 singles player Mattox and #5 singles Domingo rebounded nicely win by the same score of 3-6, 6-4, 6-3.
