against the Gulls.

Victor Suski (West Hartford, Conn.), held strong
for an 8-6 win.
The next doubles match saw junior Benjamin Randlett
(Middlebury, Vt.) team up with senior captain
Porter Williams (Raleigh, N.C.) at the \#2
position but the duo fell 8-5 to Rodrigo Ribeiro (Sao
Paulo, Brazil) and Raghav Tanna (Burlington,
Mass.).
Ribeiro, Waddington and Suski each earned singles victories at the
\#1, \#2 and \#5 spots, respectively, for Bentley.
