The ECACs are important for three reasons. First, the match act as a surrogate Ivy League Championship, since the Conference sponsors no such battle in the spring. In fact, it is the only championship in which Ali the Ivy schools regularly play. So last weekend's results confirm what everyone already knew: Princeton is the 1980 Ivy League Champion.

Perhaps more important, the meet previews the sping season. This year, it suggested that the Ivies will be be closer than ever. Princeton lost half of its team, and in dual matches, that will hurt. The experienced Crimson team is a year older. It should be an interesting spring.

Finally, the ECACs determine the Eastern representative to the National Indoor Team Championships. So, for the umpteenth year in a row, Princeton will be the Eastern offering.

But just wait 'till next year.
