HANOVER, N.H. – The men's tennis team opened its fall season on day one of three of the Dartmouth Invitational on Friday. The Big Green won six singles and three doubles matches throughout the day.
Dartmouth was victorious in all but one of its four singles matches against Boston College.
Anders Gibbons had a 6-0, 6-2 win over Connor McDonald, while
Sid Chari defeated Bennett Turner (6-1, 6-3) and
Alejandro Quiles took down Max Motlagh (6-4, 6-2). In doubles, Gibbons and Chari paired up to easily defeat McDonald and Turner, 6-1.
It was a similar story against Monmouth;
Carlos Guerrero Alvarez and
Andy Ilie both took down their opponents in two, while
Daniel Webb had to go to three sets, but ultimately walked away with the win. Ilie and
Alex Knox-Jones' doubles match against the Hawks was mighty close, but the Big Green duo managed to hold on, 7-6(7).
Though they dropped their singles matches,
Logan Chang and
Sacha Pritzker rebounded to defeat the doubles team from Bryant, 6-2.
The Big Green will be back for day two on Saturday.
