Weymouth, Mass. (March 10, 2026) -- The UMass Boston men's tennis team capitalized in their spring home opener, securing a 5-2 win over University of New England at the Weymouth Club. The Beacons delivered a balanced team performance, picking up key victories in both doubles and singles competition to improve to 2-0 this spring.

Doubles Recap

UMass Boston took control early in doubles, winning two out of three matchups to earn the doubles point. At No. 1, the freshman duo of Thomas Ameral (Ellington, Conn.) and William Kubinec (East Boston, Mass.) edged out Liam Miller and Franco Leehive 7-5. At third doubles, Mario Pangione (Carver, Mass.) and Joseph Malone (South Dennis, Mass.) clinched a 6-3 win over Andrew Young and Logan Flor, helping the Beacons to an early lead. 

Singles Recap

Stepping into singles, the Beacons secured wins at four out of six spots to seal the team victory. William Kubinec battled to a thrilling 6-4, 6-7, 7-3 win at No. 2 singles over Liam Miller, providing a crucial momentum shift.
