Worcester, Mass. – Down 2-1 after doubles, Clark University rallied to win five of six singles matches on their way to a convincing 6-3 win over Wheaton College in New England Women's And Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) men's tennis action in a match played at Holy Cross' Sinnott Tennis Facility.

The story was the same at No. 2, where Spencer Pinkney (Falmouth, Mass.) and Josh Burger (Fairfield, Conn.) were topped by Shreve Archer and Will White.

Zack Goodstein (Columbus, Ohio) and Lenny Siegel (Boca Raton, Fla.) got Clark on the board with an easy 8-3 win over Alden Zeff and Jim Beaton at No. 3.

Singles action proved to be all Clark, beginning with Siegel breezing to a quick 6-0, 6-1 win over Tyler White at No. 6.

Stein followed that up with a 6-3, 6-4 win over Gassen at No. 1 and Pinoargote outlasted Chan, 6-2, 7-6 at No. 3.
