Four Harvard men's tennis players unofficially opened their spring seasons last weekend by competing in the 11-team Princeton Invitational.
The tandem of Peter Palandjian and Arkie Engle captured the doubles title while Co-Captain Bill Stanley finished runner-up in the singles tourney.
Palandjian and Engle grabbed first place in the 16-team doubles field, defeating Kevin O'Neal and John Roberts of Clemson in the finals, 6-2, 6-4. The victory was the third straight Eastern doubles title for the duo.
Stanley, who entered the 32-man singles tourney unseeded, defeated the third, sixth, and eighth seeds en route to a second-place overall finish.
Palandjian, seeded eighth, took three straight matches without dropping a set before falling to Stanley in an all-Crimson semi-final battle.
No other Ivy League team entered a semi-finalist in the singles competition, with the other two players hailing from South Carolina and Georgia.
