SOUTH EASTON, MA - Following an excellent week of tennis in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, Bryant men's tennis standouts Jose Rodriguez and Cristian Balestrieri were named Northeast-10 Conference Player and Freshman of the Week respectively.

Baliestrieri had three wins on the week at No. 1 singles and added a pair of wins at No. 2 doubles.  He posted a big three-set win in Bryant's victory over Missouri Valley Monday.
