HANOVER, N.H. – No. 28 Dartmouth men's tennis defeated No. 36 Memphis, 4-0, at the Boss Tennis Center on Friday evening. The Big Green improved to 6-4 overall, while the Tigers dipped to 8-3.

"That was a very good effort from our team tonight," head coach Chris Drake said. "We have a lot of respect for Memphis and their program. The doubles point was back-and-forth, and we did a great job to win the long tiebreaker at No. 3. In singles, they kept fighting, but we stayed focused and were able to close out tight sets and matches."

In doubles, 19th ranked juniors Charlie Broom and David Horneffer had a 6-3 victory over their opponents at the No. 1 position while the other two matches went to a tiebreak. Sophomores Peter Conklin and Casey Ross put up a fight, but ultimately fell at the No. 2 position, 7-6(7), while classmates John Speicher and Dan Martin came away with a 7-6(11) victory at the No. 3 spot to give Dartmouth the first point.

Ross gave the Green another point with his 6-4, 6-3 defeat of Patrick Sydow at No. 6 singles, and Horneffer followed that up with his 6-4, 6-4 victory over Matt Story at the No. 3 spot. Conklin clinched the win when he defeated David Stevenson by a score of 7-6, 6-1 at the No. 4 position.

Dartmouth will play two matches on Saturday, taking on Wichita State at 12:30 p.m. before facing Boston University at 5 p.m.
