During conference play, Bolte strung together a perfect 8-0 record at the #1 singles position, and teamed with Kyle Baker to compile an unblemished 5-0 mark at #2 doubles. His play and leadership were large reasons behind Roger Williams’ perfect 9-0 record in TCCC regular-season play.

Kim, a freshman from Port Washington, N.Y., has made an immediate impact during his inaugural season at Roger Williams. Kim completed the regular-season undefeated in singles competition, posting a 7-0 mark in his primary #2 position, but also stepped up to earn a victory in his only match at the #1 spot. In doubles play, Kim and partner Jeffrey Agonia registered a 5-2 mark in regular-season conference play, going 1-0 at the #2 spot and 4-2 at the #3 position.

Boutin, a senior from Bristol, Conn., has enjoyed a stellar college career both on and off the court. In addition to posting a 4-5 record at both he #1 singles and #1 doubles positions during his senior year, Boutin will graduate in May with a degree in Engineering and a perfect 4.0 gradepoint average. In addition to recording a perfect GPA each semester that he has spent at Western New England, Boutin is a distinguished member of the National College Athlete Honor Society, as well as the Engineering Honor Society.
