Men's Tennis (6-12, 2-7 NE10) Loses 4-3 Affair to NE10 Foe Assumption
 
The regionally-ranked Saint Michael's College men's tennis team lost to Assumption University, 4-3, on Saturday during Northeast-10 Conference play. The Purple Knights were ninth in the latest Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) East Region poll.
