PHILADELPHIA– The No. 45 University of Pennsylvania men's tennis team ran its home record for the Spring to 11-0 with a 4-3 win over No. 25 Columbia Friday afternoon from the Hamlin Tennis Center.
 
The Quakers dominated the doubles matches, with Jason Hildebrandt/Zachery Lim and Aditya Gupta/Harsh Parikh each winning their matches 6-2; Edoardo Graziani and Kevin Zhu led their match 5-2 when action was halted ahead of singles play.

Parikh picked up his team-high 17th win of the Spring at #5, remaining unbeaten in conference action (5-0).
