NORTON, Mass.  -  Sophomore ace Ben Bonetto (Bend, Oreg.) earned the only point for Coast Guard men's tennis in today's 1-6 season finale loss at NEWMAC rivals Wheaton College (Mass.). Bonetto picked up the victory in singles action.

Coast Guard finishes their regular season with a 2-14 overall record and a 1-6 record against conference opponents, while Wheaton closes it out at 4-10 overall and 3-4 in league play.
