WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Catholic University men's tennis team picked up its first win of the season on Saturday with a 7-2 victory over Gettysburg at The Dowd Family Tennis Courts.

"The team responded very well after a tough set of matches last weekend," said head coach Nitin Deodhar. "They worked hard on the areas the coaches said needed improvement and it showed today. We now have two weeks between matches and can get some solid work in before Shenandoah comes to town."
