Middlebury, Vt.-- The Massachussetts Institute of Technology men's tennis team was too much for the Hawks on Friday, May 13, as they failed to make it past the first round of the NCAA Division III Men's Championships, after suffering a 5-1 defeat in Regional play.

M.I.T. looked strong from the outset, defeating the Hawks in all three doubles match-ups. The Hawks came closest to a victory in the No. 1 match-up with Yevgeny Perepelov and Luis Quintero narrowly losing, 9-7. The Hawks were not as close in the two remaining matchups as the doubles teams of Roy Forberg and Arthur Kapetanakis and Mark Goldfinger and Robert Frischling were both defeated 8-2 in the No.2 and No. 3 flights, respectively.

The Hawks did not fare much better in singles competition, claiming just one victory, which came from Perepelov (6-1, 6-1) in the No. 1 spot. Frischling was defeated 6-0, 6-2 in the No. six flight, while Goldfinger took the loss in the No. 5 flight (6-0, 6-1), to seal the victory for M.I.T.

The remaining three match-ups did not see a conclusion as M.I.T. had already claimed their necessary five points.

With the loss, the Hawks concluded their season with an overall record of 11-5.
