Harvard could not deliver a repeat Performance the following day, however. After taking five of six singles matches, Georgia clinched the match at first doubles.
Georgia's Wade McGuire and Bobby Mariencheck, ranked 10 nationally by the Intercollegiate Tennis Coaches Association poll, upset third-ranked Shyjan and Zimmerman, 6-4, 6-3.
Georgia is looking for its third NCAA team tournament title, having won previously in 1985 and 1987. The victory against Harvard sends the Bulldogs into the quarterfinals for the sixth straight time.
Although Harvard is done for the season, some members will compete in the individual tournament which begins Wednesday.
Harvard will be represented by Zimmerman in singles, and the teams of Zimmerman/Shyjan and Chang/Rueb in doubles.
The seedlings for the individual tournament will be announced Monday night.
"It's kind of disappointing at the end. It was nice to turn a page in Harvard history, though, And one good thing is that we're still able to play some down here," Zimmerman said.
