NEW LONDON, Conn. – The Connecticut College men's tennis team fell 9-0 to No. 20 Colby College on Saturday afternoon at the Conn Tennis Courts.

The Mules battled to win all three doubles matches before sweeping through all six singles contests in straight sets. Colby improved to 8-7 on the year and 5-4 in league action.
In doubles, Conn's top pair of Aaron Fleishman (Brookline, Mass.) and Jules Taylor-Kerman (New York, N.Y.) gave the region's 10th-ranked squad a test. However, Colby's Jan Wenger and Jake Cohen prevailed by an 8-5 final.

The match at No. 2 doubles was even closer, as Walker Mulligan (Guilford, Conn.) and James Serhant III (Hadley, Mass.) took the duo of James Bogdanovic and Sam Henry down to the wire. With the score knotted at 7-7, the Mules won the final game to secure the doubles sweep. 

In singles, Taylor-Kerman took four games off Cohen in their second set. Mulligan also put up a fight in his opener but fell by scores of 7-5, 6-1. 

Prior to the match, the Camels honored lone senior Gabriel Josephs (New York, N.Y.) in a special ceremony.

Conn College (4-11 overall, 0-9 NESCAC) will wrap up the regular season against Bowdoin College on Sunday, April 23 at 2:00 p.m.
