<strong>WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. (Sept. 23) &ndash;</strong> Seniors Steve Carella and David Drucker as well as first-year Brandon Roode represented Nichols men&rsquo;s tennis at the USTA/ITA Division III Men's New England Regional Tennis Championships hosted by Williams College on Friday.<br /> <br /> Carella and Roode played well, including a love game hold on Carella&rsquo;s serve, but Tommy Kimball and Robert Yee from Colby bested the Bison duo 8-5. The pair from Colby remained consistent to pick up the break in the seventh game of the match.<br /> <br /> In singles competition, Roode fought off a total of&nbsp;11 match points before Stephen Monk of Wesleyan closed out the contest. The rookie had a strong showing despite a slow start adjusting to the slick indoor surface as Monk won 6-3, 6-3.<br /> <br /> Drucker had his work cut out for him as he drew #20 Joey Fritz from Amherst. The senior fell 6-3, 6-1, in spite of a tremendous effort, to a starter in last year&rsquo;s Division III National Championship match and one of the highest rated recruits in the history of the division.<br /> <br /> Men&rsquo;s tennis is back in action on Wednesday, October 5 when the team heads to New London, Conn. to take on Coast Guard. First serve is scheduled for 4:00 p.m.
