This weekend, it seemed like everything was going wrong for the Harvard men's tennis team (9-2).
Plane delays and cancellations meant that Harvard couldn't leave on time Friday, and it ultimately meant the cancellation of a Saturday match against Old Dominion in Norfolk, Va.
"The original match time was at 1 p.m.," Assistant Coach Peter Mandeau said. "We got there at 5."
"It's unfortunate, we would have liked to play them."
The team was able to get in a match yesterday against Virginia Commonwealth.
Again, things didn't start off so well. This time, though, things would turn out just fine.
After losing the doubles point and falling behind in the first set of three different singles matches against Virginia Commonwealth yesterday, Harvard's players rallied for a 5-2 win.
The Crimson got its only doubles win at the No. 3 slot when junior John Doran and freshman Cillie Swart rolled to an 8-3 win.
After the No. 2 Crimson team of co-captain Mike Passarella and sophomore Scott Clark dropped their match 8-3, it came down to the No. 1 doubles contest for the deciding factor in the doubles point.
