Springfield, Mass. – April 12, 2026 – The Springfield College men's tennis team wrapped up the second of two conference matches this weekend as the Pride blanked Salve Regina University, 7-0, on Sunday afternoon in NEWMAC play.

All six singles matches were decided in straight sets with Gomulka at No. 4 and Thongbooncharoen at No. 5 earning 6-0, 6-0 shutout victories. Norin eased by his opponent at No. 6, 6-1, 6-0, while Guzman and Villanueva Abad earned duplicate 6-2, 6-0 wins at No. 1 and No. 3, respectively. Austin Prendiville (City Beach, Australia) rounded out the winners today with a 6-1, 6-1 victory at No. 2.
