BOSTON - Sophomores Jared Kobren and Giulio Gallarotti claimed wins at both doubles and singles and freshman Tim Sichler claimed the clinching point at No. 6 singles to lead the Boston University men's tennis team to a 4-2 home victory over Tufts in its regular-season finale at the BU Track and Tennis Center on Tuesday afternoon. With the victory, the Terriers complete their dual slate with an 11-8 record.

BU swept the doubles to take the early point before earning wins in three singles matches. Kobren teamed up with classmate Hans Sapra to pull out a 9-8 (8) victory over Paul Roberts and Ben Alexander in the first doubles match.

Kobren bested Roberts on the singles side as well in a 6-1, 6-4 decision at first singles. Gallarotti battled through a three-set match at No. 4 singles against Vihn Tran before pulling out a 7-5, 6-7 (3), 6-1 victory. The clinching point came via Sichler's 6-4, 6-2 triumph over Kenny Leavitt.

The Terriers will gear up for this weekend's America East Tennis Championships, held in New Haven, Conn.
