GETTYSBURG, Pa. – The Gettysburg College men's tennis team made short work of Muhlenberg College 9-0 to earn its first Centennial Conference victory of the season on Saturday.
 
After grinding through an all-day affair at Ursinus College that ended in the wee hours of the morning last weekend, Gettysburg (6-3, 1-2 CC) took care of business against Muhlenberg (2-5, 0-3 CC) in just over two hours. The Bullets opened with a pair of clean sheets in doubles action as freshman Michael Fellman (Rockville, Md./Thomas S.

Sophomores Alex Kagan (Guilford, Conn/Guilford) and sophomore Michael Zayneh (Hilton Head, S.C./Heritage Academy) defeated Daniel Kantor and Andrey Agajanov 8-2 at the top doubles flight.
 
Gettysburg dropped only six games in singles play with three players recording straight-set sweeps. Fellman won his match at No. 2 without dropping a game, while senior Zach LaChance (Pittstown, N.J./Delaware Valley) and freshman Hayden Strittmatter (Mount Sinai, N.Y./Mount Sinai) picked up 6-0, 6-0 wins at No. 5 and No. 6, respectively.
