DANVILLE, Ky. - A return home was kind to Centre men's tennis as they thumped Hanover 8-1 inside the Seabury Family Tennis Center on Saturday afternoon. 

The Colonels are 4-2 on the season and an impressive 4-1 at home so far in the spring season. 

Anderson Gosnell and Isaac Flanery moved to a perfect 2-0 in doubles play on the 2024 season with an 8-5 win over Ashley Hunter and Pedro Macedo in the No. 2 doubles match.

Singles matches went all in Centre's favor in the weekend battle. Flanery won 6-1, 6-0 in dominating fashion in the top spot over Hunter. The second slot needed a tie breaker for Turley to take down Keal 6-4, 7-6 (7-5) in his first singles win of the year.
