SMITHFIELD, R.I. – The Bryant University men’s tennis team opened Saturday’s match with Rhode Island College by winning the doubles point and finished strong in singles play, sweeping all six in straight sets as the Bulldogs earned a 7-0 win over the visiting Anchormen on a chilly afternoon at the Bryant Tennis Complex.
Bryant (6-7), who will play host to Northeast Conference favorite Quinnipiac Sunday starting at noon, looked sharp in seeing its first action on the outdoor courts in nearly 10 days since the spring break trip to South Carolina. Juan-Martin Paredes (Quito, Ecuador) got things started with a 6-0, 6-0 win over RIC’s Tigran Gasparyan at No. 1 singles while Nicholai Hill (Ottawa, Ontario) battled hard against Pawtucket, R.I. native and Tolman High School graduate Nate Rebello before coming out on top 6-2, 6-2 at No. 2 singles.
Daniel Cournoyer (Jefferson, Mass.) fought hard to down Garrett Smith 7-5 in the opening set at No. 4 singles but the Bulldog sophomore cruised in the second set, winning 6-2. Freshman Elias McQuade (Manchester, N.H.) made his debut at No. 5 singles this season and picked up a nice win over Matt Allard, 6-0, 6-3 while Paul Chapman (Orange, Conn.) was solid at No. 6 singles, defeated Jack Adamo, 6-1, 6-2.
