"I was a little nervous," Chung said. "I think that was the difference. I started to get it going at the end but it was too late."

"Reed [Cordish] had a good day," Fish said. "He was going for broke on all his shots and making them."

The fourth, fifth and sixth singles players fared no better as the Crimson dropped all three of the matches in straight sets.

Crimson sophomore Howard Kim lost at fourth singles, 6-3, 6-3. Freshman Martin Olsson dropped his fifth-singles match 6-3, 6-4. And at sixth singles Hausmann lost, 6-2, 6-4.

The lone singles victor for the Crimson was freshman Mitty Arnold at third singles. Mitty won the first stanza, 7-2 in the tie-breaker, and took the second set--completed after Princeton had clinched the match, 7-5. Mitty's win improved his record to 22-6 on the season and 6-0 at third singles.

Although the same line-up had beaten Princeton one month ago, Saturday's results saw a reversal of fortune.

"The first time we played them we didn't really have a right to win," Fish said. "We ambushed them that time but this time they were ready."

Although the Crimson as a team failed to make it to Notre Dame, two netters were selected to participate in the singles and doubles tournaments held immedately following the team championships.

Burroughs was selected to represent the Crimson in the 64-man singles tournament by virtue of his 15-8 record overall and 5-1 record in first-singles matches.

And he will team up with Arnold in the NCAA doubles tournament. Burroughs and Arnold have dominated the competition at first doubles this season, compiling a record of 9-0.
