DUDLEY, Mass. – The Nichols men's tennis team was unable to open its season in the win column, as the Bison were taken down by Southern New Hampshire on Thursday, September 8 at the Robinson Tennis Courts.
 
The Penmen took both points in doubles play, but Nichols sophomore Santiago Perez stepped up for Nichols, besting his No. 6 singles opponent, Jeremie Bolduc, 6-1, 6-2, to avoid the sweep.
 
The Bison will continue their fall campaign this Saturday, traveling to the Stonehill Doubles Invitational at Charles Watt Tennis Courts, beginning at 8 a.m.
