HANOVER, N.H. – The No. 50 Dartmouth men's tennis fell to No. 46 Cornell, 5-2, at the Boss Tennis Center on Sunday afternoon. The Big Green dipped to 9-10 and 0-2 in Ivy League play, while the Big Red improved to 9-7 and 1-2 in conference action.

Cornell took the doubles point with a 7-5 victory at No. 2 and a 6-2 win at No. 3. The No. 21-ranked pairing of junior Dovydas Sakinis and senior Chris Kipouras were tied at six with Bernardo Casares Rosa and Chris Vrabel when the match expired.
