WEST POINT, N.Y. - On the second day of the Army Challenge, the Marist men's tennis team won a 4-3 decision over the host Black Knights. Overall, Marist won five singles' matches.

Dalen Klassen (St. Louis, Mo.) continued his winnings ways with a 6-2, 6-2 victory at the second singles' position. Joris Van Eck (Ospel, The Netherlands) won his second singles' match of the weekend with a 6-3, 6-1 decision at the fourth slot.

For Dube, it was his fifth straight singles' victory, improving to 5-0 on the spring season. Overall, he is 16-4 in singles' action on the single.

"We just played at Harvard, and now at this triangular meet, Dalen is definitely playing his best tennis in his tenure at Marist," said Head Coach Tim Smith. "It is really exciting to watch.
