Despite entering the day with a three point lead, Rhode Island watched Massachusetts sprint by them and take home the trophy in singles matches. 

Mass finished with 111 points, while RI finished with 91 1/2 

“It’s really special for the organization. Great group of players this year, and just shows how deep of a group we have here.
