USM's Kendon Warren, Brian Willer Receive LEC Awards

	GORHAM, Maine  --  Senior Kendon Warren (Millinocket, Maine) and freshman 
Brian Willer (Lewiston, Maine) of the University of Southern Maine men’s tennis 
team have been selected by the Little East Conference as its Player of the Week 
and Rookie of the Week, respectively, for the period of April 21-27.  The 
announcement was made by the conference office Monday afternoon.
	This is the first time that Warren has received a weekly citation from the 
Little East Conference.  He is the second USM player, joining two-time honoree, 
junior Boonthai Singcharern (Lewiston, Maine), to receive Player of the Week 
honors this spring.  This was the second Rookie of the Week citation for Willer 
who previously won the honor April 14.
	Warren and Willer helped the Huskies to a 3-0 week with impressive 5-1 
records.  USM defeated Bridgewater State College, 7-2, on Friday, then blanked 
the University of Massachusetts Boston, 9-0, Sunday morning before knocking off 
the defending LEC champion, the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, 5-4 in 
the afternoon.
	Warren, playing number five singles, was unbeaten in singles play.  He 
defeated Takahiro Kobayashi of Bridgewater State, 7-6 (6), 6-4;  Pat Merrill of 
UMass Boston, 6-0, 6-4; and Patrick Martel of UMass Dartmouth, 6-4, 6-2.  Warren 
won the decisive point in the Huskies’ 5-4 victory over UMass Dartmouth.  A team 
co-captain, Warren combined with sophomore Derek Bragdon (Millinocket, Maine) to 
post a 2-1 mark at number three doubles, including a thrilling 9-8 (6) win over 
UMass Dartmouth.
	Willer, at number two singles, knocked off John Indrisano of Bridgewater 
State, 6-4, 6-4; Zoram Kaul of UMass Boston, 6-3, 6-4; and Dan Cohen of UMass 
Dartmouth, 7-6 (8), 6-4).  Along with freshman doubles partner Matt Filteau 
(Waterville, Maine), he had a 2-1 mark in doubles.
	The Huskies will finish their 2003 regular season on Wednesday (April 30) 
playing at Bates College before participating in the Little East Conference
