HAMPTON, VA - Hampton University head men's and women's tennis coach Dr. Robert Martin Screen collected his 1000th career coaching win after the Hampton University men's and women's tennis team defeated Winston-Salem State University 7-0 at the Neilson-Screen Tennis Stadium on the campus of Hampton University.
