TERRE HAUTE, Ind. — The Earlham College men's tennis team picked up another victory on Sunday as the Quakers defeated Franklin College 9-0.

Earlham's second straight Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference win has the pre-season favorites at 3-0 overall and 2-0 in the league. Franklin falls to 0-2, 0-1. The Quakers defeated the Rose-Hulman Insitute of Technology 8-1 on Saturday.

"Overall, it was a good weekend," Earlham Head Coach Adam Van Zee said. "But if we want to compete against Denison University, we will have to play a little bit better."
