Playing together for the first time this season, sophomore Mike Rich and freshman Cillie Swart registered the first doubles victory of the day, 8-5.
Harvard's No. 2 of Passarella and Styperek were moving towards a similar outcome when Styperek suffered a serious ankle sprain.
Up a break at 4-2, Styperek was serving to move within three games of a win.
"I was serving at 15-40 and I decided to finish off the game with a few big serves," Styperek said. "I got the first one off, but afterwards I couldn't walk."
Styperek served out the game but struggled around the court for the rest of the match.
On the next court, Green and Clark were filling in at the No. 1 position and battling for the win. Passarella and Styperek continued to play until Green and Clark closed out the victory at 8-4.
With the doubles point secure, Passarella and Styperek retired at 5-5.
Styperek officially suffered a severe ankle sprain and spent the rest of the day on crutches. There was no word on how long he will be out.
