LATHAM, N.Y. - The Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) men's tennis team won all three doubles matches and five of the six singles to defeat Ithaca College, 8-1, in a Liberty League contest at Tri City Fitness. The win was the fifth in a row for the No. 27 Engineers, who are now 12-2 overall and 6-1 in the conference. The Bombers fall to 4-8 and 4-3.

While No. 1 doubles was an 8-3 win, the Nos. 2 and 3 doubles matches were tight, with RPI prevailing by identical 8-6 scores. In singles, four of Rensselaer's five victories came in straight sets with the exception of senior McKinley Grimes, who battled through a come-from-behind, three-set win, 5-7, 6-3, 10-8.

RPI has two regular season matches remaining, both this week. The Engineers travel to Union College for a Liberty League match on Wednesday (4pm) before hosting No. 15 Tufts University on Saturday at 1pm.
