CHESTERTOWN, MD -- The Washington College men's tennis team rolled to a 9-0 Centennial Conference win over visiting McDaniel College this afternoon at Schottland Tennis Center.

Todd Green then completed a 6-2, 6-0, win against Faber at No. 2, while Cranford downed Hovorka, 6-1, 6-1, at No. 1 and Danver blanked Pettaway, 6-0, 6-0, at No. 4.
