...been Harvard's day from the beginning. 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. From there, though, it was a little more difficult. All four other Harvard singles men had lost their first sets, and the Penn players, aware that a loss by any one of them could result in a defeat for the team, were playing with a cautious brilliance...
...Crimson had few problems throughout the ladder, as only co-captain Chris Nielsen was forced into a third set. Nielsen rebounded from a 6-3 loss in the opening set to defeat Charlie Kieler, 6-0, 6-1, at the number six position...
...doubles, as you might expect, were not exactly an exhausting affair. 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...
Though Shapiro and Rabinovitz took an easy 6-2 first set from Ingard and Nielsen at number two, the Harvard pair rallied to win the next one, 6-4, and with both of the Crimson's other doubles teams leading their first sets, Harvard was still very much alive...
...Ingard and Nielsen couldn't hold together at the last, and the Princeton twosome won the final set, 6-4, giving the Tigers the fifth point they needed for the match. Moments later Masterson and Lindner, playing brilliantly, rallied to take a second set tie-breaker from the feline Colson brothers and broke them in the third to earn a magnificent 6-7, 7-6, 6-3 triumph. Sadly Barnett and Loring had beaten Rampell and Doug Shaeffer at third doubles, 6-3, 7-6, making Harvard's near miss all the more frustrating...
