"We were just tired after the ECAC's," said Green after the match. "I worked hard, but lost my focus. [Dilaj] had a strong forehand which I couldn't catch up to."

None of Green's teammates faired well either. Sophomore Dalibor Snyder, playing in his first collegiate tournament since last season, made the finals of the "C" flight before bowing out to Rutgers' Joe Muscatiello 6-4, 6-3. A shoulder injury had kept Snyder sidelined for the fall.

Junior Andrew Styperek lost in the first round of the "A" flight, but came back to win the consolation backdraw against Marjtin Olthof of Rutgers 6-3, 5-7, 6-3. Anthony Barker, also a junior, lost in the early rounds of the "B" flight, but won the "B" consolation tournament in a hard-fought three set match, 3-6, 6-3, 6-3 against Bowling Green's Nicolas Lopez-Acevedo.

The Fall Invitational closes out the men's fall season and marks the beginning of a much-needed three-week rest. The Crimson will not play until the ITA Regionals at Princeton in November.

Harvard Women

As the top seed in the ECAC Division I Women's Invitational Tennis

Championships this weekend at Princeton, the Harvard women's tennis team was expected to bring home the gold.

But Princeton, with its first win in team competition over Harvard since 1994, stole the limelight and stopped the Crimson in Saturday's semifinal.
