Philadelphia, Pa. – (4/19/2015) – For a third straight season the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) Men's Tennis Championship Tournament has come down to the league's top two team as, once again, host #2 Chestnut Hill College battled #1 Concordia College for the grand finale. After a slow start, the Clippers took control of the match with a sweep of doubles play before sealing the Griffins fate with singles wins in the fifth and sixth individual flights, 5-0. Freshman Jonathan Ducretot (Antibes, France) and junior Henry Boyle (London, England) earned CACC All-Tournament recognition for their two-win contributions to the Griffins 5-0 CACC Semifinal triumph over #3 Post University.

In the opening round of doubles, seniors Michael Humes (Mt. Laurel, N.J.) and Steven Say (Cannes, France) made an early stand against their opposites, senior Benas Majauskus (Vilnius, Lithuania) and junior Lorenzo Montegiorgi (Velletri, Italy), but faltered by an 8-2 final after Concordia College (18-4) turned in pro-set team victories at number three (8-2) and number one (8-3) doubles, respectively. Freshmen Pedro Festugato Regalin (Caxias do Sul, Brazil) and Lucas Bocaletto (Itatiba, Brazil) provided the Griffin resistance in the top team flight while Ducretot and Boyle were the first to fall today in the third doubles match.

Singles play saw a spirited competition among the back three courts, as the top individual flights went unfinished after their opening set. Both Say and Humes looked to be gathering steam in their second sets as the former was fighting a 6-2, 4-3 uphill battle at number two singles, while the later was challenging a 6-0, 4-3 deficit at number four singles. Regalin gave Montegiorgi all he had at number three singles (7-6, unfinished), while Bocaletto tested the CACC Rookie of the Year freshman Jui Mao (Taipei, Taiwan) at number one singles (6-3, 1-2, unfinished). In the bottom two singles matches the Clippers clinching victories came respectively at number five (6-4, 6-0) and number six (6-2, 6-0) singles.

Ducretot and Boyle were joined on the CACC All-Tournament Team by four Clippers; junior Rafael Ferreira (Sao Paulo, Brazil), junior Ofir Giant (Raa'nana, Israel), senior Juuso Ojanen (Varkaus, Finland), and Majauskas who also took home the CACC All-Tournament Player of the Year honors.

The Chestnut Hill College men's tennis team will join the women for a dual match on Tuesday, April 21, where Head Coach Albert Stroble and the Chestnut Hill College Department of Athletics will recognize the tennis program's class of 2015.
