Paredes becomes the second different Bulldog to take home NEC Player of the Week honors during the month of March. Not that all of Bryant’s five wins this month weren’t important, but Paredes’ honor comes after the junior led the way for arguably the most-meaningful team victory in program history. Paredes was a double-winner during the Bulldogs’ 6-1 team triumph over defending NEC champion Quinnipiac, a victory that ran Bryant’s NEC record to 5-0 in 2010-11. Winning matches at both at No. 1 singles and No. 1 doubles, Paredes took down opponents with all-NEC credentials. He came back to outlast Quinnipiac senior Brian Mikkelson in a third-set super tiebreaker, 4-6, 6-4, 10-3. Mikkelson, who has two all-NEC singles selections and a trio of doubles honors to his credit, also fell to Paredes in double play. Paredes and partner Nolan Gelman downed Mikkelson and Andrew Weeden, 8-5, to help Bryant to the doubles point.
