            Senior Kyle Morin (Lewiston, Maine) pushed Cadet senior Timothy Birnbaum (Mahwah, N.J./SJI International School) to a third set at third singles but ultimately fell 7-6 (7-4), 4-6, 13-11. 

            Southern Maine is off until March 28 when it opens Little East Conference play at Western Connecticut State (1:00 pm).
