NEW HAVEN, Conn.--"This is pitiful," Harvard's Scott Walker said here under the shadow of the Yale Bowl late yesterday afternoon, soaking his sprained ankle in an icepack while the Harvard tennis team fell quickly behind in the doubles competition against Yale.
The Crimson led, 4-3, as the match went down to the last two doubles contests. With the third doubles locked up in a neck-and-neck third set, the second doubles match entered a third-set tiebreacker.
Dartmouth swept the singles and the doubles titles, placing both their entrants in the finals of the singles competition, to notch 26 points. The Crimson six, winning the singles consolation tourney and reaching the doubles finale, captured the second slot with 19 points.
Libby Pierpontand Katie Ditzler, seeded second in the doubles, wiped out the first two teams they faced. They triumphed 6-3, 6-1 over a Mt. Holyoke duo and then double-bagled their second-round opponents, a combo from Cornell, to reach the semis.
The other doubles team for the Crimson, Leslie Miller and Meg Meyer, fought their way past the third seeds, 7-5, 6-4, before losing in the semi-finals to the team of Awad and Wendell.
