With the match tied at 4-4 in games, the Palandjian brothers were involved in a tight match at number one doubles. After winning the first set, 6-3, over Maine and Harrison, the brothers proceeded to lose the second set by the same score.
In the third set, the brothers Palandjian were up a break (4-3), but failed to win another game. It was only the third time that the brothers have played together this year.
For the elder Palandjian, Laddin, and Dave Clark the defeat in New Jersey wrapped up their dual-match careers at Harvard.
"I've had a great time here," Laddin said. "I couldn't have imagined going through Harvard without playing tennis. I definitely enjoyed playing on the Harvard tennis team."

Columbia is the only Ivy League team that will compete in the NCAA team tournament, while Peter Palandjian and Engle should receive bids to the singles and doubles individual tournament.
"I hope they do well," Laddin said. "They are representing the Ivy League, it would be nice if an Ivy team does well in the tournament. I hope they win."
