No. 6 man Chris Nielsen put together his best match of the spring to erase Penn's Andy Finn, 6-0, 6-2, and junior Tom Loring swept Quaker Chris Sadkowski at four, 6-2, 6-3, to supply the Crimson with two quick points.

Lindner and Masterson, perhaps the top unit in the EITA this Spring, swept Warner and Small at number one, 6-3, 7-5, and the Ingard-Nielsen team, gradually rounding into top form, handled Simon and Talbert at two, 6-4, 6-2. Loring and Barnett completed the enterprise at three, 6-3, 6-2, over Marver and Kieler...
