Despite those wins, the score stood at 3-2 Yale following Cobetto's win, and straight-set losses by Greg Kirsch and Todd Lundy--who never really got going at number one singles against talented Eli Matt Doyle in Lundy's first attempt to come back from a rib injury...

This is pure Harvard, and no attempt is made to explain the significance of Radcliffe in these events...
