HANOVER, N.H. — The Dartmouth men's tennis team had its best performance of the year in a dominating 6-1 win over Boston College on Saturday at the Boss Tennis Center. The Big Green beat the Eagles after losing to BC the last two seasons.

The highlight of the day was junior Michael Laser's (Glencoe, Ill.) win over Akash Muppidi at first singles. Muppidi finished last season ranked #84 in the country in the ITA rankings. Four other Big Green players also earned victories in singles. Senior Curtis Roby (New York, N.Y.) won his third singles match, 6-2, 6-2.
