New Haven, Conn. - The Clark University men's tennis team kicked off its 2010 season with a convincing 9-0 win over host Albertus Magnus in a match originally scheduled to be played on Tuesday but delayed a day because of weather.

Freshman Diego Angel (Lima, Peru) had an impressive start to his collegiate career, posting a 6-0, 6-1 win at No. 1 singles and then teamed with classmate Harris Rollinger (Lexington, Mass.) to cruise to a 8-0 win at No. 1 doubles.

Junior Aaron Chin (Hong Kong, China) was victorious for Clark at No. 2 singles, going three sets to secure a 6-4, 4-6, 10-8 win.

All the other Cougar singles matches were 6-0, 6-0 wins, including Rollinger at No. 3, Dan Paradee (Gardiner, Maine) at No. 4, Nathan Maltais (Seabrook, N.H.) at No. 5 and Marcus Abramson (Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.) at No. 6.

In the other doubles matches, Chin and Phillip Porter (Cortland Manor, N.Y.) claimed an 8-1 win at No. 2 and freshmen Dan Hall (Sutton, Mass.) and Bram Smith (Becket, Mass.) were 8-1 winners at No. 3.

The season-opening win for Clark marks their first since 2005. The Cougars are back in action tomorrow when they visit Rhode Island College.
