Ouellette Grabs Win as Huskies Fall to West Conn 8-1

GORHAM, Maine -- Western Connecticut State University swept the doubles points and all but one of the singles points on their way to an 8-1 win over Southern Maine on Friday in South Portland. With the win, West Conn moves to 3-2 on the season, while the Huskies fall to 1-3. 

Freshman Cole Ouellette (Lewiston, Maine/Lewiston) picked up the lone win of the day for the Huskies at second singles. He edged West Conn's Will Hogan 6-1, 7-6 (8-6) to pick up his first singles win of the season. 

Sophomore Gabriel Couture (Boucherville, Quebec/Fadette) pushed West Conn's Jay Kilcouse to three sets before dropping the match 6-3, 5-7, 7-6 (7-5). Junior Jonathan Bartuccio-Pereira (St. Bruno, Quebec/Antoine-Girourard) fought a hard first set against Sebastian Frish, but fell 6-4, 6-1. 

In the most exciting doubles match of the day, Bartuccio-Pereira and Couture came from behind and bounced back from a broken racket to force a tiebreaker at 7-7 against WestConn's Hogan and Frisch. West Conn took the tiebreaker 7-2 to win the match 8-7. 

At first doubles, senior Adam Papayoanu (Valencia, Calif./Valencia) and Ouellette dropped their match 8-2 to Aaron Campos and Kevin Teneraca. Sophomore Ryan Geary (Derry, N.H./Pinkerton) and freshman Ethan Rudnicki (Levant, Maine/Hermon) also took an 8-2 loss to Kilcourse and Jerry Narcisse at third doubles. 

The Huskies are back in action tomorrow, April 24, as they host Castleton in a Little East Conference match at 1pm. West Conn hosts Castleton next Friday, April 30, at 2pm.
