NORTHFIELD, MINN.—The Hamline University men's tennis team traveled to Carleton for a Saturday-afternoon match, where they dropped a 9-0 decision.

The Pipers fall to 0-1, 0-1 MIAC, while the Knights improve to 1-0, 1-0 MIAC.

"The men battled hard today in Northfield," said Pipers head tennis coach Spencer Jones. "Several nail biting matches in singles and doubles that did not go our way. Carleton is a top-2 team in the MIAC and our performance today proves that we are on an upward trajectory we can build on going toward. Keegan Terrone and Tyler Rousslang both played terrific tennis."

Carleton 9, Hamline 0
