NEW YORK, N.Y. — Just a week after losing to St Johns at the ECAC's the Dartmouth men's tennis team went into New York for a rematch against the Red Storm at the USTA National Tennis Center. St Johns was in good form coming off a win against #68 Binghamton just the day before, but the Big Green were determined to avenge their previous defeat and managed a 5-2 victory.

Dartmouth earned the doubles point by sweeping all three matches. In singles, sophomore Xander Centenari (Towson, Md.), was the only Big Green athlete to win in straight sets. Senior Curtis Roby (New York, N.Y.), senior Stephen Greif (San Antonio, Texas) and junior Chris Ho (Los Altos, Calif.) won in three sets.

The team is back in action at home at the Boss Tennis Center on Saturday against Boston University and on Sunday against Farleigh Dickinson.
