...disappointing to end it like that, but then again we played four tournaments and lost [only] two matches, so something has to be going right.” Anderson and O’Riain carried that momentum into the dual season, going 16-4, including a perfect 5-0 in Ivy play to help the Crimson to its fourth straight undefeated league season. That earned the pair a berth in the field of 32 at the NCAA doubles championship. Although Anderson and O’Riain lost in the first round to a tough duo from Florida, their remarkable season...
