HANOVER, N.H. – The Boston University men's tennis team opened the fall campaign at the Dartmouth Invitational over the weekend.

Six Terriers faced competition from the host Big Green, Brown and Williams. Four Terriers earned a singles win, and all three doubles teams collected at least one victory as well.

Junior Cole Knutsen led BU with four wins, first rebounding from a first-set tiebreaker loss to a comfortable 6-7, 6-0, 6-2 win over Dartmouth's Logan Chang. He was also perfect in doubles alongside senior Jonah Dickson, as they posted a pair of 6-3 victories against Williams alongside a 7-5 win over Brown.

After splitting a pair of tiebreakers with Chang, senior Ben Letzer cruised in the third set for a 7-6(4), 6-7(5), 6-1 victory. He teamed with junior Dion Loutas for a 7-6(2) win over Williams.

Both senior Johann Sajonz and junior Adrian Pawlowski earned straight set singles wins against Brown's Brian Chong. They also took to the doubles court for a 6-4 victory against Dartmouth.

The Terriers will next head down to Providence, Rhode Island, for the Brown Invitational on Saturday (Sept. 30) and Sunday (Oct. 1).
