Caldas and Huynh lead Bears double-winners

EASTON, Mass.

Caldas and freshman Diego Espiniella combined for the Bears first doubles win with their 6-0 sweep at No. 1. Caldas, ranked No. 10 in the latest Oracle/ITA East Region singles rankings, followed that up with a 6-4, 6-4 win at No. 1 singles against Stonehill sophomore Trent Newman  that clinched the match win for the visitors.

Huynh and junior Jean Kehyayan clinched the doubles point for NYIT with their 6-4 win at No. 3 doubles, rallying from 3-4 down to win the match. Huynh followed that up with a 6-2, 6-2 victory at No. 4 singles against freshman Juan Camilo Riano Rojas. Castaldo, ranked No. 4 in the Oracle/ITA East Region singles rankings, was also a double-winner for the Bears, taking his match at No. 2 singles after he and doubles partner, freshman Yago Granda, ranked No. 9 in the Oracle/ITA East Region doubles rankings, completed the doubles sweep with their 6-1 win at No. 2. Granda rounded out the double-winners for the Bears by edging junior Aaron Diamond in a third set super-tiebreak.

Freshman Vincent Huynh posted his ninth-straight singles win and improved to 10-0 in dual match singles play this season for Stonehill, rallying from a set down to defeat Espiniella, 4-6, 6-3, 6-3 at No. 3 singles. Junior Manu Ravichandrakumar also earned a point for the Skyhawks when Kehyayan retired with Ravichandrakmar leading in the third set, 2-6, 6-4, 4-2.
