Captain Marshall Burroughs and freshman Mitty Arnold won 8-5 at first doubles, and sophomores Howard Kim and Daniel Chung took third doubles 8-6.
The tide turned quickly, though, as the Bulldogs earned their first point at first singles, where the Crimson's Burroughs lost to Adam Mandell in two tiebreakers, 7-6 and 7-6.
"Yale is probably one of the top four teams that will be in the playoffs," Burroughs said. "It's their biggest match of the year."
Burroughs whipped his opponent, 6-1 and 6-4, at number-one singles, while sophomore Daniel Chung (number-two), freshman Mitty Arnold (number-three) and freshman Martin Olsson (number-five), who moved into the starting lineup due to the injuries, picked up the other singles victories in straight sets.
"Playing West Virginia is similar to going up against Princeton [a team Harvard tames, 5-2, this past Saturday]," Burroughs said. "We were just hoping to get a few of the singles."
