MIDDLEBURY-- The Williams men's tennis team advanced through the quarterfinals of conference play Friday with a 5-1 win over Trinity College.
Williams turned in a strong performance in doubles play and was able to take a 3-0 lead after the first session. Felix Sun and Trey Meyer were particularly efficient at number two, taking their match 8-2.

Meyer was in control from the beginning, winnning in straight sets 6-2, 6-0. Chow was similarly dominant, taking his match 6-1, 6-1.
