CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Senior Dan Freeman (Chatsworth, Calif.) led the Dartmouth men's tennis team at the Harvard Invitational as he won both a singles and doubles title on Sunday.

The day began with a pair of Big Green doubles teams facing each other in the final of the doubles competition. Freeman and sophomore Andrew Malizia (Chapel Hill, N.C.) got the best of sophomore Chris Ho (Los Altos, Calif.) and freshman Mike Jacobs (Oak Park, Ill.) 8-5 to capture the title.

In the A Flight for singles, Freeman continued his dominance with a solid win over Harvard's Michael Hayes 6-3, 6-4. He was broken only one time the entire match serving at 5-2 in the second set but served it out at 5-4 to preserve the win. Freeman did not drop a set on his way to the title.

In the 3-4 play off, Jacobs took out Andrew Yazmer of Brown 6-4, 6-7 (10-3). Jacobs competed well for the Big Green this weekend only losing to fellow Dartmouth team member Dan Freeman.

The Big Green wrapped up its fall season at the Harvard Invitational and will start the spring season at Temple on Jan. 23.
