win for the Huskies at number five. Ouellette, the number six flight titlist in

Colby Downs Southern Maine 8-1
GORHAM, Maine -- The Colby College Mules swept the three doubles matches
and won five of six singles matches to defeat the University of Southern Maine
Huskies 8-1 in a non-conference men's college tennis match Wednesday at the USM
Field House.
The win lifts the Mules record to 3-2 for the spring season. The match was
the spring season opener for the Huskies.
Posting the lone win for the Huskies was junior Chris Chaffee (Fryeburg,
Maine) who took a three-set decision from freshman Alex Chin (Anaheim Hills,
Calif.) at number four singles, 7-5, 1-6, 6-2.
Picking up singles victories for Colby were freshman Bryan Brown (Bangor,
Maine) at number one, sophomore Zach Schuman (Watchung, N.J.) at number two,
senior Ben Crane (Orlando, Fla.) at number three, freshman Nick Rosen-Wachs
(Scarsdale, N.Y.) and freshman Mather Neill (Kentfield, Calif.) at number six.
Neill won his match over freshman Derek Stevenson (Raymond, Maine) in a super
tiebreaker, 13-11, after the two split the two sets.
Southern Maine returns to action on Saturday, April 1, when it opens its
2006 Little East Conference schedule hosting the University of Massachusetts
Dartmouth. Colby will play the University of Missouri-St. Louis in Hilton Head,
