Freshman Pat Gilhuly
(Killingworth, Conn.) did some of the best work for the
Ravens on the afternoon. At second doubles, he teamed with senior
Dan McDonough (Manchester, N.H.) and the duo hung
right with Southern New Hampshire sophomores Mitchell Dobek and
Jared Wright through the first half of the match, though the Penmen
pair eventually pulled away for an 8-4 victory. At second singles,
Gilhuly squared off with Dobek and was defeated, 6-2, 6-1.

6-2, 6-2 fate for the Ravens at fifth singles against junior John
Niland.

players won in both doubles and singles play on Monday. Freshman
Alex Mukdaprakorn and sophomore Tim Hamilton each lost only two
games on the day. Mukdaprakorn swept through his match at third
singles, 6-0, 6-0, after teaming with Arango-Campo earlier in the
