WALTHAM, Mass. – Bentley University opened its 2010-11 Northeast-10 schedule in fine form with a 9-0 sweep of Assumption Thursday afternoon in women's tennis play.

Sophomore Paulina Sotomayor (San Antonio, Texas/Ronald Reagan) played in the number one position and posted a 6-0, 6-3 win over Grace Fox.

In doubles, Sotomayor and sophomore Rachel Litton (Burlington, Ontario/Nelson) played in the top position and beat Fox and Paige Gilet 8-1, as the Falcons won all three doubles matches.
