WASHINGTON- George Washington men's tennis defeated Howard, 7-0, Friday morning in the first of two matches of the day.

GW began the dual by sweeping all three doubles matches to go up 1-0 on Howard.

Battling the strong winds, Erik Hannah and Chris Kushma won their singles matches in straight sets.

Andy Erickson and Ken Mkrtchian claimed their first singles victories of the spring, both winning 6-0, 6-1.

"We had a great week of practice," said head coach Greg Munoz. "It was the most focused I have seen these guys practice the entire year. They know conference is around the corner."
