M. Tennis Crushes Penn, Princeton

At No. 2--after falling behind an early break in the first set to Ahn Ahn Liu--Doran recovered to win the set with a 9-7 tiebreak. Then--with this newfound momentum--he closed out the match, winning the second set, 6-4.

Also prevailing in a tight match, Passarella defeated Patrick Sweeney 7-6 (6), 6-4, at the No. 5 singles slot.

"It was nice to be playing well again," Passarella said. "I lost [to Sweeney] freshman year, and then beat him sophomore year, so it was nice to win the third time around."
