New London, Conn. - The Clark University men's tennis team's 2010 season came to an end on Thursday with a 5-2 loss to the Coast Guard Academy on Thursday in the first round of the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) men's tennis tournament.

The Cougars' season ends at 4-9 - the third straight season in which they have won four games. Meanwhile, the No. 3 Bears improve to 11-9 and will face second-seeded Wheaton on Saturday morning at 10:30 a.m.

The future remains bright for Clark, however, heading into the 2011 season as they only graduate four seniors and return 11 of their top 15 players, including standout freshmen Diego Angel (Lima, Peru) and Harris Rollinger (Lexington, Mass.).
