The semifinals are no exception.”When these two teams met in the regular season, Harvard prevailed by a 2-1 score over Cornell...
Harvard started out slow, but saved enough energy to endure a nail-biter against St John’s. The Crimson men’s tennis team dropped the doubles point and needed three set efforts from senior captain Chris Clayton and junior Sasha Ermakov to overcome the Red Storm 5-2 on Thursday evening at the Murr Center.
