Blake and Majmudar remained near the top of the doubles rankings, falling only one spot to No. 3 after their pair of losses over the weekend.

Majmudar made a big leap in the singles rankings from No. 47 to No.38.The Staten Island, N.Y., native had suffered through a couple of weeks of sickness in late February and the early part of this month in which he struggled against lesser opponents.

After resting for a couple of weeks Majmudar is feeling well and is ready to go.

There was a stretch where I dropped three of four," Majmudar said." But I have felt good for a while now and I am back on top of my game."

Co-Captain Mike Passarella and sophomore Scott Clark made their debut in the doubles rankings at No.49.

The team has also been powered by a number of strong efforts over the past month which have provided crucial singles points at the lower positions.

Doran, the Crimson's No. 3 singles player, has won six straight matches in a streak that extends back to the team's meeting with No. 20 Tennessee at the national Team Indoors in mid-February.

Harvard's No. 4 singles junior Joe Green has won five of his last six matches. Although he lost in the Crimson's match against Virginia at the Blue-Gray, Green has been providing a nearly automatic singles point for much of the past month.

If the Crimson can rediscover the strong doubles play that powered the team before its recent lapse and continue its singles success it ought to advance deep into the tournament.

Of its possible first round opponents, No. 27 San Diego State and No. 54 Boise State, both offer the Crimson a chance to get off to quick start and establish a rhythm early in the tournament.

Harvard's biggest obstacle in the tournament will be SMU. The Mustangs took the Blue-Gray Classic by upsetting No. 2 Illinois, and its No. 5 ranking is the highest for the team in more than a decade.

After the Crimson completes its tour at the Gaucho Classic it will return to the Sunshine State to play in a dual meet against Pepperdine on April 3.
