GORHAM, Maine – Junior captain Emily Boutin (Old Town, Maine) won a hard-fought 6-3, 6-4 battle at second singles to lead the University of Southern Maine Huskies to a 9-0 win over the Thomas College Terriers in a non-conference women's tennis match Thursday afternoon in Gorham, Maine.
With the win, Southern Maine improves to 6-2 overall and earns its second win over the Terriers this season. The loss stops a two-match win streak for Thomas and drops its record to 2-4.
