The Carnegie Mellon University men's tennis team won a pair of 9-0 matches on Saturday, October 4. The Tartans entertained Ohio Wesleyan University and Oberlin College at The Club Monroeville after wet and cold weather moved the matches indoors.

Carnegie Mellon recorded all straight set victories in singles play to go for the 9-0 win.

Against Oberlin in the nightcap, the Tartans double pairs once again swept to lead 3-0 heading into singles play.  At No. 1 singles junior Abhishek Alla (Hyderabad, India/IMG Pendleton School) won 6-1, 6-4, while Duncan won 6-4, 7-6 (3) at No. 2.  Also winning in straight sets was Kirkov at No. 3, Zheng at No. 4 and freshman Tommy Cheng (Cupertino, Calif.) at No. 6.
