Worcester, Mass. - 11-time defending New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference men's tennis champion, Massachusetts Institiute of Technology, extended its conference winning streak with a 9-0 win over host Clark on the final day of the 2010 regular season for both teams.

MIT swept all three doubles matches and had an easy time in singles action with the exception of a hard fought battle at No. 1 where Clark freshman Diego Angel (Lima, Peru) was locked in a battle with Ken Van Tilburg. After dropping the first set, 6-4, Angel roared back to take a 7-6 decision in the second set, setting up the deciding third. Van Tilburg, however, was able to escape with the 10-7 decision.

The Engineers, who improve to 12-1 with the win, have earned a first-round bye in the upcoming NEWMAC Tournament, while the Cougars, now 4-8 overall, will face Coast Guard on Thursday afternoon in New London. MIT will face the winner of the No. 4/No. 5 matchup between Babson and Springfield.
