MANSFIELD, Mass. – After earning a victory over previously undefeated Southern New Hampshire on Friday, Le Moyne claimed the top seed in the upcoming Northeast-10 Conference Men's Tennis Championship – which is set to begin with first round play on Tuesday afternoon.
For seedings and matchups for the 2022 NE10 Men's Tennis Championship, please see the schedule below for dates and times of the first round, semifinals and championship final.
Le Moyne (19-1, 7-0 NE10) had a remarkable season, which included an unbeaten record in conference play and a current 19-match winning streak. The last loss for the Dolphins came against Division I Niagara on October 9. It is the second-straight year that Le Moyne has captured the NE10 regular season championship and it will receive a first-round bye on Tuesday, automatically advancing to the NE10 Championship semifinals on Thursday.
SNHU is the No. 2 seed after a 6-1 record in NE10 play, while Adelphi is No. 3 after a 5-2 mark against conference opponents. Le Moyne was picked to repeat as NE10 champion, according to the 2022 NE10 Men's Tennis Coaches' Poll in January.
In the first round of the NE10 Championship, No. 4 Saint Michael's will host No. 5 Franklin Pierce for the right to play Le Moyne. No. 3 Adelphi will host No. 6 Bentley, with the winner moving on to face SNHU in Thursday's semifinals.
The NE10 Championship match will be hosted by the highest remaining seed on Saturday, April 30. Time is to be determined.
