Waltham, Mass. - The Adelphi University men's tennis team continued its strong stretch of conference play with a 5-2 victory over Bentley University on Saturday in Waltham.

Now winners of five of their last six, the Panthers improved to 7-6 overall and 5-1 against NE10 opposition.

Bentley (10-8, 2-2 NE10) came within a singles victory of leveling the match, but Pietro Sole and Salomon Arce Lema clinched it late for Adelphi.

Sole (6-3, 6-3) and Arce Lema (6-2, 6-1) only dropped a combined nine games at No. 5 and No. 6 singles, respectively.
