...their Tufts opponents in three straight games. Josh Horwitz and Neal Tew, freshmen who usually play at nine and ten, took control at the number four and five seeds. Junior Bobby Greenhill went from good to better to even better, winning 15-10, 15-7, 15-3. Freshman Sam Halpert rounded out the seven perfect shutouts, dominating in three short games...
