RINDGE, N.H. (April 8, 2009) - Franklin Pierce University closed out its home schedule with a 9-0 setback to Stonehill College in Northeast-10 Conference men's tennis action this afternoon.

Mashkevich was also one of six double-winners for Stonehill, picking up a hard-fought 6-3, 6-1 victory at No. 2 singles against Franklin Pierce sophomore Adit Phataraprasit (Bangkok, Thailand). 

Franklin Pierce (1-8, 1-7 NE-10) is back in action on Monday when it visits Assumption College at 3:30 p.m. Stonehill (15-3, 8-0 NE-10) is off until next Thursday, April 16, when it hosts Connecticut College at 3:30 p.m.
