LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Dartmouth men's tennis ended its spring break on a high note with a 4-3 victory over DePaul on Friday. The Big Green are now 8-6, while the Blue Demons fell to 6-11.

"I am really proud of the effort to bounce back today after a tough match and a long week," Xander Centenari '13, the John Kenfield and Chuck Kinyon Head Coach of Men's Tennis, said. "The guys have prepared well and battled hard all of spring break, and to come out with a gritty 4-3 win after three tough losses speaks to the character and fight in this group. This team is tough and fit and credit goes not only to these guys for coming through this week beautifully, but also to those who stepped in to fill the gaps when we needed it. We had tremendous growth on this trip that will build on this culture not only this year, but in the coming years as well."

A 6-4 win by Alex Knox-Jones and Pierce Widdecombe at No. 2 doubles, and a 7-5 victory by Anders Gibbons and Dominik Pauli on court one put Dartmouth up by one heading to singles.

Pauli's 6-3, 7-5 win at the No. 2 position made it 2-0 in the Green's favor before the Blue Demons got one on the board at the No. 5 spot. Carlos Guerrero Alvarez added a 6-3, 7-5 win of his own on court two, while Logan Chang clinched with his 6-4, 6-4 victory at the No. 6 position. DePaul added two more wins before the match was done.

Dartmouth will return to the East Coast to open Ivy League play but will remain on the road for another three weeks. First up: Harvard on Saturday, April 2.
