Playing under ideal tennis conditions, the Radcliffe tennis team played its toughest match of the season against Brown Saturday and continued its season-long winning streak.

Going into the match, both teams were undefeated and both had beaten Yale. Radcliffe tennis captain Lissa Muscatine said, "We knew Brown would be rough since they have a team similar to ours, a team with much depth."

Freshman Denise Thal, playing number one singles, was beaten by Brown's Nancy Fuld, 6-4, 6-0. Fuld was runner-up in the New England inter-collegiate singles match.
